this is an amazingly powerful movie...not a happy flick though. Dina shows off her meticulous acting training in a superb performance. The interaction between Dina and the other characters was simply superb. I was completely blown away with the dynamics of this movie. Ira Sachs did an amazing job capturing the hardships of each character and blending them into one family.

I highly recommend this movie to the avid viewer. Don't expect this to be a simple happy flick. It is definitely for someone who is interested in good movies that require some though. This is a movie that you simply succumb to...It surrounds you with the movie...

Congrats on winning Sundance 2005!
