What's strange is that anyone thought this movie was worth making. It's a thriller with no thrills, almost no action and even less tension. What it does have is a strong cast, but who wants to see good actors going to waste?

Rated: 2/5

There remains some truth in advertising, especially when it comes to Rowan Athale's bizarre family thriller.

Can't quite decide what kind of weird it wants to be: a loopy B-movie corkscrew ride, or an American Beauty-style suburban burlesque with Something To Say.

Mr. Movie's Film Blog

If the film sorted out what genre it wanted to belong to, the audience would be less confounded and considerably more engaged.

... shoots for the same psychological heights as Gone Girl but ends up hitting 13 Reasons Why levels of melodrama.
