Shame on TCM's Import host Alicia Malone for spoiling the ending in her intro. I went into the film expecting what she said would happen. Boy, did that spoil the fun. Regardless, it wasn't violent enough for my taste, despite its American bent.
In all fairness, the editing is superb. The pace of the film is, I admit, captivating. The cinematography is above par.
There is no plot. There is no acting, aside from the child and the wife. If you're a fan of Chantal Ackerman, you may very well get a kick out of this film. It's kind of a blend of her 3+ hour masterpiece and her Letters From Home, which she personally narrates.
You can read plenty of reviews for spoilers. You won't get them here.
