I-Fak

You will wait a long time for something good to happen
A long and tragic look at how mental illness is dealt with in other cultures with political overtones. Good cinematography.

Good film! Only a few slower moments when he drinks, but symbolic of his denial.
I-Fak has many symbolic messages and a few slower moments that may not be understood by some. The color red is used alot, especially when she refuses to allow society to "paint her black." She is refusing to accept their image of her, and he struggles with it even until the end. I only wish it either ended up a bit more trajic (with him leaving the city/town for good) or dieing protecting her. The ending was a cliff hanger, and not in a good way. :/ Did he stay, go, do jumping-jacks? I have no idea. Yes she carried him off, but to where, and did they stay together? I think it is suggested that they did (since he basically tried to give her away then leave her at the station, but ended up regretting it), but I am not sure even after watching this film. Overall I give it a 4/5 stars, only missing 1 star because of his super-short time spent with his dad (not enough to develop their relationship, and that may have strengthened the backstory and our struggle watching the family)...

Ok movie, but no real ending
Movie started out okay, but as it progress, it went downhill. The two main character didn't really develop throughout the movie. It's main focus about how they try to avoid each other like opposing magnets but would somehow end up at each other side.. Was hoping for some type of ending but the movie didn't have any.
