A scrupulous and impeccably acted account of the fallout from a family secret.
Remarkable for its seamless ensemble performances.
Downbeat but ultimately hopeful, it's a domestic tragedy that cuts clearly to the bone, finding emotional nuance among the family's knotty secrets and dense layers of subterfuge.
Sensitive directorial bow by editor Wiebke von Carolsfeld and solid performances lend conviction if not quite distinction to the drama Marion Bridge.
Story of small triumphs and everyday sorrows is never maudlin or sentimental.
If von Carolsfeld had worked more surprises into her style and presentation, Marion Bridge wouldn't live down to its genre stereotype so readily.
An earnest, if dreary little Canadian domestic drama.
