It's a novelty, and an educational one at that. It reminds you of just how dumb your average movie is these days.

Overview
Using almost no dialogue, the film follows a number of residents (both human and animal) of a small rural community in Hungary – an old man with hiccups, a shepherdess and her sheep, an old woman who may or may not be up to no good, some folk-singers at a wedding, etc. While most of the film is a series of vignettes, there is a sinister and often barely perceptible subplot involving murder.

Unclassifiable and wildly original.
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

So precisely and hypnotically assembled it could have been directed by a particularly whimsical metronome.
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe

What film is all about, but all too often isn't -- it challenges its audience to look at the world in a different way.
G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle

At once impressive and indulgent, hypnotic and patience-inducing with its languorous rhythms.
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
