Alex Heeney Seventh Row The film is an interesting inside look at monastic life and the price of progress, but the subjects often feel too stiff in their scenes together, their dialogue seemingly forced and scripted. Aug 15, 2017 Full Review Simon Foster Screen-Space Breathtaking photography counterbalances the intense intimacy of Balmes' subject; the story is about the boy, but the boy's story encompasses his village life and the changing face of an ancient culture.
