Absolutely the worst movie.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Watched this film tonight and it had a big impact on me. I related to the family and was interested how it panned out as I was brought up in a single parent family. I know what those kids went through, I knew the pain of the father trying to hold a job and bring up the kids. The acting was top notch and nothing seemed forced. It reflected a slice of life that people don't always think about. They were content and not that poor but fairly poor.Tommi was perfect in his role as was viola his sister. They had a great camaraderie between them and the acting was natural. The children in the school felt like they belonged in another era, their behavior seemed to be impeccable and something I wish we could see in todays society. A great directorial debut and I will always come back to this gem.
recently i saw this movie in a TV channel. i don't know about the actors and directorial details of this film.but those people are doing their job very well.especially the boy,he is the best choice for the character.the father character,particularly in the scene where he angry with his son ,when his wife cheating him scoring our attention fully.later i know he is the director of the film.finally,the story is well written .totally the film is simple and beauty.maybe its a melodrama,but it has a message as 'anything will happen life,but life must go on'.this film reflects the modern family life and the sensual problems of children and the parents.the camera work is well done.especially the swimming competition scene.it proves even the small budget films also have the perfect camera works.after a long time it is the mind blowing job along the recently watched films of mine.
Through a look at the life of a crumbling lower middle class family in Rome, first-time director Kim Stuart Rossi takes a surprisingly honest look at a number of issues, like divorce, and the role of males in contemporary Western European society. The movie is true to life in the best sense: the characters are very similar to people you know. Rossi Stuart also stars in the movie, playing a single father, living precariously as a cameraman, and having to take care of a young son and a teenage daughter (his irresponsible wife is in and out of the house, as the son explains to a rich neighbor and friend). The movie is shown through the eyes of the shy son, but I think the real protagonist is the father, a great dramatic creation of actor-director Rossi. He is a man with an explosive temper, always getting into trouble and thinking the whole world is against him, but he is not a bad person per se; it's just that his hyper masculine values seem to hold less and less value in today's society. Barbora Bolubova, playing the troubled wife, is also very fine. The end is a bit despairing, though as he says in the end, he has been down before, but has always bounced back.
This film is about a family of four and told through the character of Tommi, an 11-year old boy. His sister is a nuisance, and he has trouble getting friends in school.The mother of the family has some psychological issues and disappears for weeks, then returns for a few weeks of nuclear family bliss.The father is a poor, stressed out cameraman struggling to find work. He goes from loving and caring role-model-father to angry, rampaging mad in seconds.The tensions between all four members of the family are really done well, the film is believable and very emotional. Both adults and children in this story give great acting performances.
