Beautiful and comforting

I applaud Netflix for getting behind an art film such as this. Hypnotizing and graceful. It's like having a movie playing in a room and at the same time feels as though nothing is being played. Silence is used to fill the gaps and only makes the frightful scenes all the more intense. Great use of space and angles with each and every shot.

I agree with the beautiful and cinematography but 'comforting'... more like drive the viewer to feel like cutting their wrists rather than comforting.

Criticism of religion is not racism...

I agree, except for the comforting part. I found it unsettling.
