hess009 There is almost no dialogue in this movie. I love that wonderful choice. Especially nowadays when every movie seems loud and overwritten. When we are overwhelmed with too many words. often we have words for nothing. Autumn Blood it is full of very dark content and unsettling moments. Yet still the atmosphere of the film is so tremendously beautiful. The story is told through wonderful artistic cinematography.I see lots of European Films, and this is a remarkable masterpiece done by a first time director. The whole subject was treated very tasteful. Especially as a woman I appreciate the sensitivity of the director. And it gives me hope that there are still many great novice filmmakers out there.

med77_99 I appreciate the effort by the director, he was really trying to create and make a unique experience in film making, which ultimately failed due to several flaws.first of, the film captures some of the most beautiful scenery of nature shown in film, very wonderful and breathtaking cinematography.the acting was also very solid with most involved, especially the lead actress who produced a brilliant performance.So where did it all go wrong ? I say the script is at fault here, the character development and backgrounds lacked big time. we really did not have enough background about these people, who are they ? what do they do ? what is the issue with their father and the bad guy ? who are the bad guys ? why are they bad ? too many questions lacked explanations and hence leading to poor definition of characters, ultimately leading to lack of tension and intrigue. I really could not care less what happened to anyone in the film, the villains or bad guys did not scare me enough despite the early rape scene, and the lead heroine or protagonist character failed to make the connection with the viewers, at least with me, enough.the plot was decent, started out well but eventually turned into another human hunt film which as i mentioned lacked enough tension and intrigue.one minor note is the unique lack of dialog, the whole film possibly contains around 15 to 20 lines of dialog only, it was unique film making, but could it have been the reason of lack of character definition and development ? in that, is why i believe the actress was superb, as she relied on her talent of body language and face expressions in her acting, and deserves praise.I got really bored at the end, that i started to fast forward the film to see how it ended. i won't recommend this to anyone, but you might as well give it a try and judge for yourself.

Paul Magne Haakonsen While "Autumn Blood" is a very visually astonishingly beautiful movie, it lacks anything that even resembles a storyline that is compelling and interesting.The story is about a recently orphaned boy and girl living in a cabin on the mountain, when their solitude is shattered as the girl is sexually assaulted by a man, who later returns with his friends for more easy pickings. The orphans flee into the mountain to escape from their tormentors.There is very little dialogue in the movie, which really made it difficult to sustain one's attention fully to the movie for the entire course of the feature. And not even the spectacular visuals - in form of scenery and cinematography - could manage to remedy for a lacking storyline and dialogue.When I sat down to watch this movie it was because I saw that Gustaf Skarsgård was in it. But still, even he didn't really manage to pull this movie out of a mediocre gutter.If you enjoy thrillers, then there are far better movies available then "Autumn Blood". This movie was rather predictable as well.I am rating "Autumn Blood" a mere 3 out of 10 stars, solely because of the impressive visuals, because the rest of the movie failed to spellbind me or properly entertain me in any way.

ricknwman My favorite movie of the year. I had the pleasure to see the film at the Stockholm Film Festival while I was visiting my cousin in Sweden. It was totally different than I expected it would be and I left the theater spiritually and emotionally challenged yet uplifted in the same time. The cinematography and amazing visuals (not using CGI) are amazing! The actors lived up to the challenge of taking us along on their journey through their actions only as there was almost no dialog. The cinema was sold out, there was absolute silence during the sreening and people kept talking about the film afterwards in the lobby for the longest time. I hope that this film will have a theatrical US release, because it is one of those rare films that is worth being seen on the big screen. Eather way Autumn Blood will surely land in my BlueRay collection.
