A simple story poorly disguised as a complex arthouse film. Respect to the masterful way it was put together, but the hype is inexplicable - it was painfully, unbearably obvious at times (pedestrian, even). The performances and memory-based storytelling were very interesting, but that's not enough. It felt like an elongated short film, and the audience is only holding on to find out details.

    Furthermore, the reality of the film (although based around the perspective of the mother and her biased understanding of events) was questionable at best. It stands as an interesting film, but is not to be heralded as a brilliant masterpiece. I expected much more from Ramsay.
