REVIEW
The movie is a lightweight, one-dimensional story about a young fellow and the relationship with his father. Everything is mediocre (acting, cinemaphotography etc) except the great attention to period detail.
One thing that is amiss is the inclusion of two events, one that raises the spectrum of conjugal difficulty and the other some questions about a young girl. Then we never hear a word about them, as if they never existed. Both should be edited out since red herrings have no part to play in anything but a mystery and this is not one.
