I am a huge fan of European films and of horrors and with this film being compared to Let The Right One In in many reviews I read, my expectations were high. This apparently does for cannibals what Let The Right One In did for vampires.. Unfortunately the film didn't live up to my expectations. An enjoyable film needs to have at least one of the following: strong dialogue, interesting storyline, intreging characters, excitement, terrific direction; We Are What We Are, I felt, had little or none of any. I didn't know enough about the characters to care about them getting food and saw no reason why they should kill the innocent (or whores as they muchly discussed) so that they could eat? Nor did I like the mother, or the youngest brother. I felt no attachment to the incestuous relationship. I felt that the mockery of the police was pointless and frustrating. I stayed in the cinema to watch the film and I wasn't bored just highly disappointed. Would I recommend this movie? No... Do I feel like I wasted 90minutes of my life watching it? No... It was just an OK portrayal of a family coping with their issues. Don't rush to the cinema to see it (unless like me you have unlimited membership) just wait until its shown on Channel 4 if ever it is.
