User Reviews

"Dad's home."

The film constantly relays that feeling of the father coming home. I wonder if Winterbottom loved his and this was a giant homage to him. That sweetness and harmlessness is the director's touch, creating a contrast with his more edgy scenarios. I'm sucker for these 'big family in non-ideal circumstances' pictures, and the casting and performances sing. Fond of the digital video cinematography. But the father did not deserve them for what he put them through; guilting the wife for swaying, he had some nerve.
