Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)There is something about this movie that sticks with you long after you have watched it. Is it the way the story starts? The way it ends? The way your primary expectations are not met, and yet you find something else that you didn't expect? Hard to say, but it eventually matters very little. You are moved, you are disturbed, and you keep thinking about it... It beats those blockbusters that you forgot five minutes after you stepped out of the movie theater by a long shot.
I personally love movies where I am unable to predict anything. How refreshing and disturbing!
It is a movie made by a Russian director, with outstanding Russian actors (the kids!), but there's nothing "Russian" about the story. It is a "universal" story of a father returning to his wife and children after a twelve-year unexplained absence and taking his two sons - to whom he is a perfect stranger since he left when they were very little - on a fishing trip.
From then on, "unexpected" is the guideline and you hold your breath. What is going to be revealed? What is going to happen? How will the three characters deal with their new relationship?
You'll have to watch to find out...
The photography is beautiful, and the score at times adds real power to the images.
A must-see movie for cinema buffs, not for the average "movie goer".
