Chester R This film manages to weave together documentary, personal quest, and experimental film into a single, powerful story. While it begins slowly, the story builds to a terrifying climax, then eddies out into a series of memorable codas. The editing is flawless and the music worth a sound-track release. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/22/24 Full Review Romain R Moving story told in very original way, with great visuals and a mesmerizing score. Hard to know whether it's a documentary or a something more experimental, but the strangeness matches the subject: children telling the parents' and grandparents' story imperfectly. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
