This movie is about a girl with a mentally disabled mother and the problems that arise because of that. Things start happening (relating to her mom and her grandfather) and we get a glimpse inside of this girl's head. The movie takes its time with this and so does it rather nicely. I might add the movie takes a bit too much time, though. Since halfway through I was wondering if anything was actually going to happen. Eventually the movie picked up some steam, but I have to admit the story did not really impress me.
What did impress me was how well shot the movie was and I also quite liked the color scheme, it was rather subtle but it worked. Also, the music was pretty sweet.
From here minor spoilers...
Near the end things finally started happening but it ended rather abruptly. My girlfriend put it nicely saying: "It ends when things finally start happening." And, before I forget, this movie is difficult. Especially since it kinda portrayed the mom in a negative light, which is a bit awkward since she is mentally disabled and basically just a child.
I read somewhere that I would have been nice if we got to see a bit of the mom's point of view. I mostly agree, since this would've shown her struggles as well instead of, like I said, portraying her as the 'villain' of this story. But I also understand why they didn't do this, since this movie is about the daughter.
All in all, this was an interesting watch, but I am still left wondering what message/feeling the filmmakers wanted me to leave with.
