Deaf edit

How many of the actors are deaf? Are all of them deaf? I know that at least Yana Novikova is. Kdammers (talk) 15:10, 13 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Negative critic edit

Most of the quoted critics are positive. You may want to add a negative critic by Scout Tafoya. --Error (talk) 00:03, 12 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

Agreed. Rotton Tomatoes give it 88%, which is quite high, but still shows negative reviews from a few places. The problem with layering so many positive reviews and comments into the Wikipedia entry is that it reads like a promotional piece, rather than a Wikipedia entry. For example, Giles Edwards, Head of Acquisitions at Metrodome, commented upon the acquisition, "Audacious, uncompromising and formally breathtaking, Miroslav Shlaboshpytskiy’s shattering masterpiece takes the chilling saturnalia of the feral crime film and transposes it into an unnerving, singularly unforgettable landscape.", himself concluding, "It heralds the arrival of the most astonishing new filmmaking talent in years." I liked the film. Shlaboshpytskiy is a talent. But this is just hagiography.
And some of the positive reviews had reservations. For example, A. O. Scott in the New York Timesc concludes in an otherwise enthusiastic review: Things turn very nasty at the end, as petty criminality gives way to rape and murder and the camera starts to feel like an instrument of exploitation. Having provoked the audience’s curiosity, the film punishes us, using the bodies of its young performers, the women in particular, as tokens in a prurient, punitive spectacle. “The Tribe” deploys an elaborate, rigorously executed conceit in support of a weary, dreary hypothesis: People are awful. That might well be true, but there’s no need to shout. Barte (talk) 16:26, 20 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
