Character Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
It is dark, bitter and fascinating, as all family feuds are -- about hatred so deep that it can only be ended with a knife.
Zap2it.com
Daniel Fienberg
Very well shot, but narratively it's pretentious, wannabe Kafka, heavyhanded dreck. Not sure how it won an Oscar.
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
Philip Martin
Van Diem uses cinematic technique to propel his story; he doesn't treat the story as an excuse to show off his technique
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Tremendous emotional energy is brought to the screen by an excellent story and exceptionally fine performances.
New York Theatre Wire
Brandon Judell
Dickensian in style, and not without a dash of Kafka, the film is beautifully shot by Rogier Stoffers and Mike van Diem's direction and screenplay are nigh perfect.
Kalamazoo Gazette
James Sanford
two hours spent with a handful of miserable, monochromatic people... That said, the movie is also extremely well-made...
