You can't not appreciate this film. It's raw, sensitive, frank and brutal in its approach yet beautiful in its own way. Every character in the movie is so real and genuine that they live with you long after you have watched it. Love is the central theme but is always confronted by entrenched beliefs and practices. The performances of the cast is outstanding considering that many of them are novices. Music is great and gels with the moods of the events. A truly brilliant film not to be missed.
