Popescu's film isn't about loud recriminations but the way that lives can disintegrate by degrees.

WOW! This movie is on another level! The cinematography is amazing! The way it breaks from conventional mainstream techniques is great. I love the scene in the park, where the camera just sits and lingers on the scene, as his children duck in and out of the frame in suspense. The devastating effect of unresolved justice and the loss of loved ones is so powerfully captured in this gut wrenching decent into hopelessness. The end was really shocking, and as a Christian I advise caution when watching the movie's ending, it's not for the faint heartened. I walked away from the final scene thinking, 'Should I have watched that?'.
