Family dinner. Conflicts. With slow
subtle nuances their story is woven. Families, so filled with resentment,
blame, guilt, regrets. And then it carries on into the next generation.
It is so well acted that it could be a documentary on this family’s life. But my advice is to be well rested when you watch it because it can lull you to sleep. It did me yesterday evening, and I had to watch it again this morning.
4* of 5.
