I thought it was a really touching film and still feel like I'm bobbing up and down in its wake. There's something very special about it.

It's a strong film that pulls the exposition and allows the audience to project their own meaning in to it. When it works, it takes the film to another level and I feel the gamble really paid off this time.

There are so many differences of opinion about English folklore they'd be falling over themselves to explain what it all meant... and for the noisy expert they'd be criticised for being wrong... I think it was a wise choice to situate the story in a highly politicised time for the UK where fear of the other/god/unknown still gripped people ... at the Q & A that followed the film the more Wheatley explained stuff - and he tried his damnedest to avoid it - the less magical the film seemed... I enjoyed not knowing - gave the characters a greater sense of being of that time rather than historically accurate... like Sightseers - it's obvious he's killed before but there's no need to delve into the back story or the craziness of Kill List where Neil Maskell's world comes crumbling down transforms into a race with destiny that on 2nd and 3rd watch is perfectly set up throughout ... I'm a big fan and probably should shut up now ;)

Personally I loved it. And I've spent the last few days trying to decide exactly why, since it was such a different and in parts, bizarre film. I bought into the hype and watched it on opening day and to be honest, it felt a little bit like there were half a dozen reasons why I might not have enjoyed it. But between the style, the look, the script, the setting and the outstanding performances it completely charmed me.

I was lucky enough to interview one of the producers and Britflicks.com published it ... hear it on my soundcloud page ... https://soundcloud.com/stuart-wright-3/britflicks-interview-with-andy

Would love to know more about the political and literary and art history references and resonances banging around in the delerium but gosh what a wonderful work. Intrigued by the sound and score as well as the visuals. Written and co-edited by Amy Blunt - she and Ben Wheatley must have an amazing working relationship

Ooh must add that I exactly did NOT want Explanation or Exposition to be IN the film; just interested in the minds that produced it, and what had gone into those minds over the years...

Definitely a very unique film experience. I agree with Susi that it would have been nice to have had some additional details included, such as the meaning of the documents and rocks, etc, but that didn't ruin what was a very enjoyable, beautifully crafted, and thought-provoking film. Well done to Ben Wheatley and Amy Blunt. Can't wait for the next film!
