Hal Hartley is so underrated. His films are really extraordinary. There's just this wonderful beauty about the minimalism, the story. Hal Hartley has such a unique way of presenting his ideas. And the actors love it because they're in all his movies. It's a shame he did not get more exposure. But all of the range of films that he makes are really truly wonderful to watch. I'm going to be riding this saying review on all the movies because watching them is not just about one film. Because they all tell a story of his style. That's why I have a list of films, a folder of films based on directors because they are the real storytellers and have a style that is so amazing to present an idea. So watch all of his movies and enjoy the uniqueness. There will be some reviews that may be specific but just watch any of all films and have fun with them. They are really unique and beautiful.

This is a quirky, arty, coming of age type film. Its I suppose a bit typical of such films about people resettling into a smallish rural town following time spent elsewhere. I've seen similar films I think. It has a fairly authentic feel to it, which I liked. The cast do pretty well I thought. Its somewhat thought provoking I suppose. Yes, I'd recommend this film - its a little slow and may bore some but its thoughtful and still felt intriguing enough to keep my attention. The pissed off/frustrated father character did make me laugh a bit.
