    No closer at the end of the movie

    by mailrg60

    The movie is great, great story, great dialogs and authentic,
    My only problem is the end of the movie. I was puzzled. There is no closer, to twist, nothing to indicate a conclusion. The way this movie ends is disappointing and it spoiled the whole movie experience for me.
    But still I recommend it !

    Must go / must not

    by mkace

    If you really care deeply about family dynamics and moral choices and how life get in the way of all of it, this movie will bee your bible. This is one of those extremely rare works that gets around your inner critic and embeds itself directly in your consciousness. Easily one of the 10 best ever!

    Simply beautiful

    by beautyrunsdeep

    Trying to dissect the movie's storyline will provide no real value to anyone who reads this. All I can say that will do this film justice is that it is immensely enjoyable, original, immersive, and an absolute pleasure. I hope you'll enjoy it is much as my friends and I did.
