Jane W I happened to read more about this film on Wikipedia &the festivals it has travelled too. Watched it. Incredibly understated presentation of an extremely powerful story. This one is very European and in my opinion, it has been treated softly-deliberately by the filmmakers. Unless you watch this film at least 2 times, you won't get it. Very spiritual, healing and yet gut wrenching. The actors are not performing, they are just being themselves which gives that cinematic yet amateur feel. Excellent Sound, Direction, Cinematography ***** and Performances. The editing could have been better but that is a "cliché" which can be passed. The film overall lives and lingers and that is all that matter. The singer-What a voice-Take a Bow. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
