I just couldn’t get into it
This movie was way to slow for me.

I had to watch it twice to get through it.

I can’t blame the acting – I feel all of the cast did a good job with what they had. The cinematography was impressive – all the narrow, tall alley shots made me feel like I was there. The story to me was just lacking.

I think I understand the message they were trying to get across – a family coming to terms with the accidental death of their mother/wife – a realistic story. But this family was not really much more interesting than my next door neighbor. It was just too common place.

I spent the movie waiting for something to happen – and it never did. Even the inclusion of the supernatural twist of the mother’s ghost seemed not to add to the story at all.

The basics of a story that you expect to find in a movie were missing. There was no rising action, every part of the movie was just another day. Some conflict between the characters did occur but was built up so slowly and it hadn’t really reached a high enough point by the time the climax happened.

When the climax did happened I was wondering “was that it?”. It was somewhat more exciting than the rest of the movie but a far cry from what a climax should be.

The resolution seemed totally missing to me. I suppose we can assume that after the bland climax some of the conflict between the characters was resolved but I really don’t think the incident was major enough to have caused that much of an effect on the characters past a day or two. Or perhaps we aren’t supposed to assume anything was really resolved and that we just saw a short period of time of this very dull family and it will continue on the same once we’re finished watching.

Overall, not a terrible movie but one they could have done much more with.
