  1. Vital and alive. Frustration and malaise rumble through every richly textured frame, but behind it all is a restlessness and a desire for something better.

    Every frame is dense with life, with children and animals running in and out, yet it's not messy. Instead it's highly focused--and something of a small masterpiece.
  3. The title means "The Swamp," and you may feel you're in one after 103 minutes with such a generally unlikable gang.
