| Movie ViewsRyan CracknellA hauntingly quiet film that honestly explores the emotions of guilt, blame and hope. |
| Toronto StarGeoff PevereIf you pay attention to this movie the way this movie pays attention to the details of human experience, you start to see things like Garnet does: Even in the smallest things, there's drama. |
| Film Freak CentralWalter ChawBehrman has a lot of demons and a little bit of skill--enough to make you wonder about his next movie, though not enough to save this one. |
| User ReviewAlison HBeautiful setting, plot, characters, everything. If I could rate it ten stars, I would. |
| User ReviewBeRe DGenuinely moving, unpretentious Canadian film that seemed to have slipped through the funding agency cracks. The characters are all basically decent and try to do the right thing in tough circumstances. These are not the typical characters seen in English Canadian films; you can actually relate to them! The film depicts a father's love for his children and the care that the two title siblings show for each other, even when things get rough. Evocative film with a small town Western setting that shows the quiet desperation that good people feel when they get put into awkward or difficult situations. Behrman has become a TV director as of late, hopefully he will have an equally powerful follow up. Seek out this hidden Canadian gem. The child actors are phenomenal. |
| User ReviewMeghan MThis drama was superbly put together and carried out. Set in small town Canada, it succeeds at the very difficult task of portraying true family hardships, struggles, hurt and loss. Colin, who plays Garnet held and carried the film. His little eight year old eyes seemed to show all the pain and confusion his character should feel. He is a remarkable actor. Jane, or Flower, likewise did an amazing acting job, as did Callum (Ed). The story wasn't full of action or outer conflict, but the inner conflict of a well told family life certainly held my interest throughout. I would definitely like to rewatch this and pay closer attention to some of the detail and underlying motifs. |

| User ReviewKathryn Ri can't even describe how well the characters play their parts, with a gray sadness that is consistent. a few strange parts to keep things "real" and odd. you feel so sympathetic and awkward by the end of it that you're left wanting to comfort each character. you grow close to them. disturbing doesn't begin to describe some of it. |
| User ReviewKatie MIntense and emotional, this film seems slow-moving, until you realise that you can't pull yourself away to refill your drink. The two younger actors do a spectacular job and kudos to Trish Dolman for bringing out those performances. |
| User ReviewLee MHmm..didn't realize this was Canadian. I thought it had the feel of a good low budget European effort. I liked this film quite a bit particularly from the little guy Arnie Walters and how he deals with very dangerous behaviour to deal with the passing of his mother. |
