Dark & powerful!

There is nothing worse than the loss of a child. This film tackles the grief and aftermath of that experience with an intimate honesty. The dark moody visual elevate the storytelling and the performances from the two sisters are compelling viewing!

Brutally Honest

The subject matter hits close to home on a personal level, which made some parts hard to watch - but there's a beauty in that pain and suffering.

I doubt many will watch this more than once, but everyone should see it at least that one time.

All elements of filmmaking come together here to create a very moving film.

When dealing with children and the loss of children it's always an emotional ride. All elements of filmmaking come together here to create a very moving film. The dark moody cinematography enhances the honest heartfelt performances of the entire cast. The extreme close-ups the director uses brings you into the characters emotions and the score brings all these elements together. This is a rare gem of a drama from a great team of indie filmmakers. Two thumbs up.

Extremely Moving and Intense.

This film is incredibly powerful. Tackling a difficult subject with such vulnerability, Clara and Anne (Gabriela & Evelyn Tollman) were profoundly connected to this story and their nuanced work really stands out. I found their performances extremely moving and intense. I'm not sure how something like this gets made, but it's so wonderful when it does. A truly original work, worthy of so much!! Definitely recommend!
