फ़ीचर्ड समीक्षाएं
This movie was pretty good! it was filmed really beautifully and the acting from the main character Giddy was executed really well. It was also told from her point of view which was really interesting. I don't know why most people from this movie hard to follow, i found it really straight forward. It's worth a watch.
Even more, simpler that I thought it would be!
The story it's quite simple, really. The ending seems abrupt, but it's not really, by the last scene everything is solved... there's nothing to add. Or at least I don't need anything else to add.
It's true, there are a few details that I don't know what they mean, and maybe I'm missing something and I didn't realise of something, but as I've understood it makes sense and there's not a lot more to add, even from those details "unsolved" for me.
The cinematography is very good, everyone is very good on their roles, and it's a different take on a thematic seen many times before.
Good movie. I wonder though what was those details... will update this review if I ever find out!
Thought this was a wonderful film, visually and atmospherically. The characters were excellent, both the likable and the not-so-likable (like the brother and the 'villain'), and the storyline was gripping and evocative. The only problem for me was the ending, or lack of it - too much was left unexplained which I'm afraid ruined it for me overall.
We're living in country very reminiscent of the film's location, so there was a heightened appeal to the scenery for us, but honestly, this movie rises far above the attractiveness of its setting. It's a little unusual in that a major part of the drama hangs on the relationship between the father and daughter who greatly resemble each other. I found then both easy to listen to and watch. Both actors do a great job in their roles and they carry most of the picture with substantial help from this first time director who tells her story very effectively.
I've read criticism of the plot and the non-resolution of various issues brought up, but as one who needs murder mysteries and spy dramas to make perfect sense, a story mostly from a child's point of view set on a farm doesn't have to come together like a puzzle. I enjoyed this film and look forward to more from this interesting director.

Greetings again from the darkness. The feature film debut of writer/director Anne Hamilton may cause Aesop to turn over in the grave, but it also supports the adage that desperate times call for desperate measures. Just how desperate is really the point here, and the moral line in the sand is drawn by an 11 year old girl named Gitty (short for Gertrude).
Gitty (an outstanding Peyton Kennedy) lives on a farm with her pregnant mother Sarah (Marci Miller), bullying brother Martin (Gavin MacIntosh), and beloved father Abe (Kip Pardue). Gitty is the kind of kid who loves stories with happy endings, has a pet chicken named Happy, and loves exploring the surrounding countryside with her friends a dried water well, abandoned house, and lighting bugs are all part of their daily adventures. Only a remote silo is considered off-limits per her father.
It's the 1980's and times are tough for family farms. Making ends meet is incredibly challenging and the sagging economy has resulted in many sell-offs of generational farms and the subsequent suicides of farmers who simply can't face the failure. Gitty blindly trusts her dad when he promises they won't lose their farm. Doubt only enters her mind when she discovers a battered man (Richard Schiff) in business attire locked in that off-limits silo. The captive man tells her not to tell her dad, and instead asks her to bring food and books. Even an 11 year old cloaked in innocence begins to suspect something isn't right.
We see the story unfold through the eyes of Gitty, and her fantasies, dreams and visions remind us just how the world looks to a kid. Her openness, curiosity and imagination all act as a kind of sixth sense that lead to the judgment of a child what is right and what is wrong. Knowing Gitty is the source of our insight helps explain the near cartoonish evil perpetrated by Martin – an overanxious kid who sees himself as some type of "warrior" (an image bestowed by the mysterious Vera). Zuleikha Robinson plays Vera in the mold of a fairy tale witch influencing others in this case, Gitty's dad to do her dirty work.
The film is beautifully shot by cinematographer Wyatt Garfield, and at various times recalls Pan's Labyrinth, The Fall, and the camera work of Terrence Malick. Gitty's character is easily compared to Scout from To Kill a Mockingbird, but her "Honest" Abe dad is no Atticus Finch. Richard Schiff is excellent as the captive man, while Peyton Kennedy reminds of a young Elle Fanning (very high praise indeed). Kids have an amazing ability to see the black and white of right and wrong despite all the extraneous noise going on in their young uncorrupted heads. It's a shame it all turns to gray as we grow older. It's a nice first film from Ms. Hamilton.

- ट्रिवियाGitty's dream with her father, Vera and the carousel was shot at House on the Rock in Spring Green, WI.
- गूफ़Gitty's dad runs down a fawn, takes a firearm from the rear of the truck and walks toward the deer. In one shot Gitty is seen holding a chicken, next she is carrying a second firearm. This could be an indicator of later change.
