Excellent family drama

The film centers on Paige (Katharine Isabelle), a high school student who has grown up in a dysfunctional family and lives with her father. Trouble sets in when her brother Trevor (Philip DeWilde) returns to town. Trevor and the father (Nicholas Campbell) had had an altercation in the past and Paige has not forgiven her brother for this and wants nothing to do with him. The father wants to reconcile with his son and invites him to stay with them for awhile. Conflict between brother and sister soon sets in. The entire cast gives wonderful performances. I especially liked Isabelle's performance as the troubled, imaginative teen. The film also had good character development.

impressive & moving

I happened across this film at the Montreal International Film Festival and was thoroughly rewarded. An excellent portrayal of the complexities of family relationships, and the painful process of awakening to truth. Katherine Isabelle's performance was so rock-solid that my belief in who she was didn't falter for a second. In fact most of the actors gave amazing performances, in roles that were complex, and in some cases, I think, untypical of what an audience might suspect. An unassuming movie that worked very well.

Sparse film making (and that is a good thing)

This will not be for everyone but I loved this film. It had the benchmarks of what I appreciate in an independent work; believable acting and a story that didn't compromise itself (or the characters) with a out of place and overly uplifting ending.

There are a few small bumps along the way, all forgivable for a solid film such as this.

Really quite good

One never knows what to expect at a film festival, part of the charm I guess. This movie really surprised me and the person I went with. Paige, the story's main character, has to go through a series of challenges to avoid being confronted with the truth about her family. The end result is realistic and haunting, not unlike the rest of the film.

Ms. Isabelle's performance as Paige was exceptional. One hopes a movie like this can be seen in a wide release.

Convincing portrayal of a believable family.

I would say that this is a good to very good film. It is quite believable, almost too much so. The father and daughter (the daughter is Paige) are portrayed incredibly realistically. It is nice to see this type of portrayal of a teenager for once.

The brother is good too as the character who returns with a hidden agenda...to get his sister to look around herself and to admit that she is clinging to a past and present that isn't real, only made up to suit her own denial. It takes patience at times, but the movie is well worth it in the end.

Ross Fleming: So, what was in your mind then when you went down there, I'm curious to know. What were you thinking? You were gonna check up on me?
Paige Fleming: Doesn't matter.
Ross Fleming: It's don't 'doesn't matter'. I'm asking you this one question, now I want you to answer me, do you see yourself now as my- my probation officer?
Paige Fleming: Do not yell, I'm not upset.
Ross Fleming: Well, I am upset.
Paige Fleming: It was my fault, okay? And, you slipped and I knew it, I, you knew I knew it. We ignored it.
[Ross goes to light a cigarette]
Ross Fleming: Okay, I slipped. Okay.
Paige Fleming: What else did we ignore?
Ross Fleming: Oh, okay, this is starting to make sense. What other lies did that little snot fill your head with?
Paige Fleming: It's not about...
Ross Fleming: What'd he say I provoked that attack yesterday? I deserved what I got the other time in the park?
Paige Fleming: No!
Ross Fleming: I can't believe after all the things we've been through, you and me, you give up on me!
