Despite this movie's tremendous potential to be turned into an impeccable piece of work that would resound in people's minds for years, it fails to fully realize its potential with its overdose of religious images that clearly mirror that of Tarkovsky. Tarkovsky's films are always too slow and heavy to watch with its long lingering shots that at its best only make for mental masturbation. I was really worried that the director of "banishment" would follow Tarkovsky's steps after first seeing the self-indulgent lingering shots and he did more and more of those later in the film. I think "the return" is a perfect film without any unnecessary conversations or lingering shots but this movie failed to carry the flag of the first one. All in all, the excessive twists of the plot and the pretentious religious symbolism are drawbacks of this otherwise spectacular film despite the stunning cinematography, perfect editing and imposing style. That being said, it is still better than 99% of the films I have seen in my life. Hope the director's next one will be better.
