And I believe there are religious factors here. But I am not at all a Bible reader so I ask these questions:

Why stone the parents?

The picture of the black crow and angel baby during the credits. What was that painting?

Bjorn says “I’m tired of smiling all the time” to Patrick before he screams out. As I have gotten older I don’t do things that make me uncomfortable. And I am not gullible. I question everything. While many believe, especially today anything that is spoon fed to them. Being gracious and kind can get you killed. and so can speaking up. Mr. Thinc-y your review is perfect! great job on a tough film.

You know this. It’s utterly depressing although I can see how others would find it worthy. But I was just thinking about something- when Bjorn finds the pictures and the dead body of the child, he doesn’t even tell Louise why they are leaving! So of course while he goes to get help when their car conveniently breaks down she thinks nothing of Patrick coming to help. Why wouldn’t he tell her what he saw? I keep thinking about this. Some of the plot is definitely contrived but I get what you are saying about this film being about social obligation in the extreme.
