==Response==

It makes a hash of both." She added, "For some reason [it] has been dubbed into heavily accented English for American release, adding an unnecessary 'What did he say?' level of difficulty."<ref>Saltz, Rachel.

Or in this case, an outsourced educational-film company."<ref name=fji /> Adam Keleman  of ''[[Slant (magazine)|Slant]]'' believed, "The unforgivable flaw of the film is its lack of subtlety, the way character detail and plot development is laid for us on a silver platter, never requiring the audience to ... fully engage with the intricacies of the lead character's internal and moral quandary."<ref>Keleman, Adam.
