Title: Touching study of a family in crisis, with a dark sense of humor
Product review: A sweet and human film that is perhaps just a little too slow and distanced for it's own good.The strengths of this French film set in post-communist Russia include quiet but powerfulobservance of detail, and understated, very real and perceptive performances.But somehow, I was never as drawn in or moved as I expected to be, based on the amazingreviews this received. And maybe that was the problem. There's nothing like reviewover-hype to set you up for a let down with a small, quiet, intimate solid film. So I willgive this another look, and report back if my feelings evolve.
