The Village

The denouement will infuriate and enthral, but Shyamalan's latest is made with elegance.

"The Village", even when its step falters, is on to something more provocative than seeing dead people. Its power, unrelated to digital monsters, comes from the tension building inside the characters.

Rolling Stone »

Translated from swedish: All of M. Night Shyamalan's films deal with this deeply human dilemma - that man is born into a terrifying, random world and must find enlightenment by venturing out into it and broadening his horizons. Or, equally, lock himself in isolation, create a prison of fear. But none of Shyamalan's films bear more sharpness and complexity than "The Village".

Translated from swedish: High-class acting, fine photography in yellow and red color scales, and a heavy, ominous atmosphere are the keywords that characterize "The Village", even though one had hoped that the film's resolution would have been given more time.

Translated from swedish: The fact that I do not double up in derision over the resolution here is largely due to the atmosphere of seriousness and searching that is evoked from scratch and to the actors (most of them at least) acting as if this were a story about real people and not just loading up for the twisted final credits sequence that everyone expects from Shyamalan.

Translated from swedish: The biggest surprise is Bryce Dallas Howard in the role of the blind Ivy, perhaps the only reason to even bother checking out "The Village"?
