Title: EXTREME WASTE OF TIME AND CELLULOID.
Review: This movie is voyeristic, empty, and completely lacking in emotion. For a movie that should be full of sadness (children die in tragic bus accident, people cheat on their partners, a man molests his daughter, etc.), there is no true emotion. We aren't connected to the characters. As much as the viewer should care about these horrible things, this movie is so disgustingly voyeristic and uncaring, that we feel absolutely nothing (except anger at the filmmaker). The best thing about it is the numerous shots of snowscapes, symbolizing the vast emptiness of it all. The way that the molestation is dealt with is sickening, with the daughter being portrayed as a precocious, sweet, young thing who wants it. Then, the big finale is equally awful: she (quote) gets him back, as if the manner in which she does this is at all a real revenge. I don't recommend that anyone put themselves through this two hour torture. There are so many other more worthwhile movies out there.
