Hadewijch (2009)
Stunted acting, tedious

I can't concur with some the praise on this movie.
The film is very drawn out: some scenes just take forever without anything happening: no tension, no arcs. Just still images for minutes on end.
There is no dialog or character interaction in this film. Just actors stuttering out their words.
Overdone symbolism: a suburb flat courtyard with bushes in the shape of a cross? All of a sudden Celine gets hit by a ray of light in the middle of the countryside? The savior who is a workman?
The plot does not make sense: why does she need to go to the middle east?
I could not believe the film: the character's religiousness does not make sense, and her wordless approximation into the Muslim group is hardly credible.
