REVIEW

Several things sets this one apart from the others:

• It is shot in black and white
• None of the cast are high profile well-known actors

It is a terrific story about someone wanting to see things through with dialogue and situations that are believable, characters that ring true and the interpersonal dynamics bang on. The acting is uniformly good and I just loved the pacing, the depiction of rural family life and the amusing moments. What a great combination.

CLASSIFICATION

for some strong language.
