An authentic, anthropologically fascinating if dramatically unsteady debut set in an isolated community in rural, mountainous Georgia.

Dede is a hard film to watch, and that's not an accident. It isn't that it's violent or that it's gruesome or that it'll have you turning away from the screen at the horrors unfolding, it's that it's truth.

Dede is one of the most beautiful portrayals of spiritual tradition, heartache, grief, and sacrifice I have ever witnessed.

Rated: 9/10
