Little rural drama
marcuspessoa3 August 2013
The movie is a little rural drama, which focuses on Sheryl, a single mother, and her two teenage sons, Marc and Stephen. They love each other and are apparently happy, but they are too terribly bored with the lack of what to do.

The action is quite rarefied. Marc tries to convince his girlfriend to have sex, Sheryl goes to parties to seek company, and Stephen goes out with friends to break abandoned cars.

If you like sensitive movies, focused on building characters, this is for you. If you want a well-structured story, full of events, it is better to pass away.

An interesting character study
jack-507707 March 2020
The movie is slow to start and doesn't really find its way for a while, but once things start to develop, it is a very satisfying portrait of a family. All three characters deal with the need for acceptance by others and intimacy in their own way, and it's an honest and uncomfortable look at the things we do to gain those things.
