    Good acting, bungled plot.

    Starts as a sensible and moving family story, but completely looses its focus later on. Pointless additions to the storyline lead to unnecessary subplots that diminish the powerful main story and it's nicely fleshed-out conflicts. The result feels deeply unsatisfying, like a missed chance.

    I really liked the actor's performances and the - initially - well-written characters though.
