I first saw this movie in Israel and I was just so drawn in by the story and the characters in this film. This film depicts the harsh reality that some of us are burdened with.The actors/actresses in this movie did such a wonderful job.I am looking forward to seeing more movies from this director.I strongly recommend this film.

I liked the simplicity in this movie. It depicts real people in real life, coping with death in the family. But it is a depressing movie.

I watched a very well made movie, with a cast that was effective at making it one of the most depressing movies I have seen. I am a widow, and can relate to what happens to the family after the death of a spouse and parent , but the ending was really good!
