  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

What a dignified yet exposing, mystifying yet sober, simple yet sophisticated, terrifying yet beautiful, disillusioning yet romantic portrayal of a people's custom in the eyes of it's participants and onlookers alike.
