[16+] The Tribe

The movie is leisurely as well as graphic in its representation of sex and violence and, predicated on long takes, is visceral in a wholly unexpected way.

The Tribe revels in the distance it leaves between its audience and its characters, but in placing viewers on the outside, it also creates an experience that's almost perversely empathetic.

This is a challenging film that's not for everyone. Yet there's no denying its brilliant concept and its raw cinematic power.

There is nothing else like The Tribe, at once a searing, singular vision of a particular time and place and a brutal metaphor for the wounded human condition.

If there's one place where love has no place, it's here.

Slaboshpitsky... has definitely delivered something rare and singular -- the sort of experience we hope to find in cinema, not just because it's new and we haven't seen it, but because it's truly stimulating work.

With The Tribe, the power of communication is restructured and re-examined, with a story that's strange and disturbing enough to haunt you.

A radical film that won't leave anyone indifferent or unimpressed and will stay in your mind forever. [Full review in Spanish]

The images created by Myroslav Slaboshpytskyi are so powerful that using actual words could break the illusion of the closed universe seen on screen. [Full review in Spanish]

A difficult film, rich in scenes that might not be for those who are sensitive. The Tribe is made with confidence and an overwhelming strenght to create hells that are hard to forget. [Full review in Spanish]

It would be a mistake to go along to this film unprepared - take note of that censor's warning. But it is a bold and brilliant work of great originality that will extend the horizons of even the most dedicated cineaste.
