This movie was a real treat... everyone with their own little conflict, and the Sunday dinner was their get together for announcements, even though they all live in the same house.
As mentioned, not much communication happens between the family members. They all turn to a friend for comfort, but as these friends start to fade away or distance themselves, the characters find relief from unexpected sources. The little touches really add depth to the movie, and some comic scenes lighten up the experience.
Highly recommended, especially if you like adult oriented family dramas.
Image:
Excellent!
Color is nicely saturated, Blacks are black, and shadow detail is very good. The print is almost perfect, with only occasional tiny speckles appearing. The compression bit-rate averages at 8MBit, which is why the image is superb! The transfer is anamorphic, and also has info for full-screen/pan&scan mode!
Subtitle:
Optional English only.
Large white text with black borders, stays on-screen for proper amount of time for reading, and is correctly synced to the speech.
Audio:
Very good sounding soundtrack, since this is mostly a dialouge driven movie perfectly the Stereo 2.0 is suitable for this movie.
