Lovely shot film ,which is not your stereotypical tale.

It's moving thanks to the performances of Malone & Schreiber, ably supported by the three child actors.

It's very engaging - it keeps you entertained - it's also sweet - it's a bit different - but that's good - at it's core it's a simple family film - but not so much for the kids though - it's not that kind of family film!

Jena Malone and Pablo Schreiber play some of the most believable characters I've seen in a while. It's a gritty family drama with a strong currently of restoration and rebuilding....but in a way that avoids cheese or schmaltz.
