      Audience Member A good little independent film charting the oddly and dysfunctional single parent family trying to find themselves. It's a slow journey over the course of the film but not a bad watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a very dark story, but it shows us a lot of. I couldn't get some moments because of their accent though, it wasn't matter. The actors were brilliant. It's worth to watch. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member A little distubing, but a beautifully shot film that focuses on a family's obsession with their father and the fantasy land of hope and glory, America. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Very underated film. The setting is Wales, a family is trying to come to grips with their long absent father, who they think is in America, but infact is dead. It's original, sometimes shocking and absolutely brilliant! Sian Phillips was perhaps too old as the unstabled mother, but top performances from all! It's a must-see. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member A great film about alienation, hope, madness, despair, and the unique kind of cabin fever that comes from living in a very small town with no discernible way out. Depressing, but very, very well done. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
