8.5/10
It's funny that all the descriptions of this movie talk about it being about the horse that Nietzsche spared from further abuse and his subsequent 10 years of muteness, because it's really not. Being a Bela Tarr movie, it's about nothing and, well, everything. There's something about this movie that is so transfixing, from the constant howl of the wind to the brutally uninteresting day-to-day motions of the cart driver and his daughter, living in the middle of nowhere. It has a very dreamlike quality to it that's hard to explain, but if you know what you're in for, it's very rewarding.
