Bless Me, Ultima:

Coming of age without the amorous romance, but with a romantic's view of the past. This story explores the paradigm of good vs. evil, religion and superstition, and ways of passing knowledge that are ancient and timeless. The cycles of life and time feature strongly here, as do destiny, emnity, friendships, and family. The most heartening thing for me was the clear reverence for the Earth, Nature, and family farmers who hold the land that sustains us in trust. Not everything here is easy or pretty by a long way, nor is the movie perfect, but in its way it's timeless. 7/10
