I was also moved by this movie. Moved to go to bed. It's NOT mesmerising. It's soporific

I watched this movie with some hope that it'd be worthwhile despite its rating only 6.1 on IMDb. I mean, it's from Canada right; home of Atom Egotan and Neve Campbell and Ryan Gosling and Bruce Greenwood. How bad could it be? The answer is: DEADLY.Any comparison between Bergman and this boring load of tripe is simply laughable. Yes, Bergman's movies could be slow and depressing and, in some instances, one wondered where the movie was going, but they generally had something to sustain their running time and, most often rewarded those who were prepared to sit back and immerse themselves in what Ingmar desired to convey.This movie was simply and terribly boring. It's NOT mesmerising. It's soporific. The ONLY aspect of its production which I found at all rewarding was the cinematography which was very lovely at times but which ultimately failed to satisfy when combined with the rest of the movie.Acting - only fair. Direction - tedious and boring. Script - was there a script? Cinematograpy - nice at times. Enough said."They Who Surround Us" goes straight to my folder called "Watched but will never watch again".

Sad and boring

Very shallow plot takes forever to build, jumps back and forth with future and past with no base. I had hope but lost interest after 50 minutes of torturous boredom. Just waiting for a friken plot. Come on Canada your better than that !!
