It's a fine movie with solid elements and I completely understand the message they are attempting tonl convey. Duality of man, two sides of a coin, man's ability to be cruel, it's all there. I was looking for a hero of some sort and while the dog was a welcome distraction from the cold, there was one person who I'll not name who showed compassion but that narrative felt unfinished as well.
I know there is a good story in here and perhaps this was better told as a limited series but it felt like a lot of loose ends were left when the credits showed. I won't call this Oscar bait because it's much better than some of those movies "Maestro" comes to mind but not even sure this was best foreign film for me this year.
I'd never rewatch this but I'd say it's a fine weekday movie but I wouldn't hang my hat on this for a weekend night at the movies.
