Repeated viewings are probably essential for appreciation of the multilayered storyline.</span></ul><a href="http://www.animeuknews.net/viewreview.php?showreview=73">Read full review</a>.
 
I was tempted to give it a 10, but there are one or two minor gripes i had with it, namely the continuity and the almost complete lack of extras apart from the commentary track. some reviews i've come across really tear it apart, pointing out the labyrinthine plot (which is a bit stupid) and the pretentious way that it uses religious imagery and shocking scenes. you're right though. it IS an awesome film, if a bit disturbing.
