In this good-natured film, even the smallest efforts at kindness yield positive results.
Rather than assaulting you with self-congratulatory tears, it leaves you with a bittersweet glow of wisdom and an appreciation of the small triumphs and difficult labors of love.
Disturbing, beautifully acted movie.
They take a mundane story and give it emotional resonance.
Plumbs the issue of sibling love and family responsibility in quietly powerful ways, and the performances of the two stars surpass convincing to reach a level of biographical realism.
The film's plainness, and the understated force of van der Groen and Petersen's performances, sharpen its complexity of feeling until all mawkishness is cut away.
Debrauwer's characterization is as sharp and incisive as a butter knife.
