7/10
I get the criticisms, but I enjoyed this.

Looks like I'm one of the few who likes this film, so I had to drop a note. I admit it's almost too understated. But I like that approach, not having everything spelled out. The story is deep between the lines, at least until the confrontation. There's almost too much exposition for me in that moment, since they had already established such a sideways manner of presentation. Like "Night Eats The World" (which I also liked) I think the post-apocalyptic setting creates viewer expectations, and the film never has any intention of going down those avenues. I enjoyed having my expectations thwarted,in this case. About 20 minutes in I realized it wasn't going to be the film I had assumed, and just went along with it. I get why many people didn't like it, but it doesn't deserve that awful rating. It's not an action flick, it's not suspense or thriller. It a post-apocalyptic love story. And the cinematography is spectacular.
