This was a shambling, discursive, raggedy-assed movie that tried to tell too many stories and ended up not telling any with enough depth to really resonate with the audience. Most of the characters were unlikable. The basic set-up was irritating and felt contrived. But mostly the film suffered badly from the maddening camera work that has become fashionable among "modern" filmmakers.
Much too long at 2 1/2 hours. I felt he was trying to create an epic out of an incident. This eastern European backwater has produced some gems in the past few years. This isn't one of them.
