A young woman returns home to find her sister is isolating from the world and disconnecting from reality. Her mother doesn't care and is more interested in republishing her poetry and her her father is too busy chasing women.
This is a well acted and well made drama that is very much about something. I'm not entirely certain what the film is about, nor do I think the film itself knows but but it wants you to know it is about something.
That isn't a knock on the quality of the film, more to say that the filmmakers never seem to want us to forget that they are trying to say something. As a film on it's own terms I think this film is gangbusters. The performances are first rate and the way the story unfolds is compelling.
Honestly this is the sort of film that other festivals notice and screen. I am so sure of this that I would not be surprised if this shows up at Neighboring Sounds of the NYFF.
Worth a look.
