A moving exploration of family and lies
8 May 2007
Dogme style film making can either be a distraction and seem either more artificial with the movement of the camera and the sound quality or it can set the tone and create the atmosphere of the film as it does for this film.

the overlapping stories and action are reflected perfectly in this style of filming. the motion of the cameras reflection the conversation patterns of a gathering, the emotions of the participants and involves the viewer in the intimate actions.

The success is also based in large part on the strength of the actors. the emotions are strong but not overstated, the actions are not short cuts to cinematic expression of emotions but based on real reactions and behavior.

this is dogme and film done right.
