Recently saw this film at the Taiwan Film Festival and really liked it. It started off very slow (maybe too slow for some) but really built to a fine devastating conclusion of life in a really troubled family and trying to grow up beyond that when you're older. The acting is great. The whole Dogma 95 approach was okay but didn't add anything to it. But, I will say, it was very honest (heart-wretchingly at times-the breakfast scene with Dustin and his mom-the scene with Nick and the girl at his apartment). This film probably won't get a lot of attention because of it's quality but I will promise, if you see it and can stick it out, it packs a really powerful punch (to the gut). ***1/2 out of 4.
