Criticism
" An extraordinary debut film, the convinces with its outstanding occupied leading roles and a concentrated camera work which makes you forget some stereotypes in the drawing of the supporting roles. "
" The result of the film is an utterly believable story. His realism is not sacrificed the grace of the action, he lets the people the secret that they are for themselves. The plot is not " bigger than life ", but from an unobtrusive social realism that makes you think completely removed to the earlier films of Mike Leigh or Ken Loach. "
