I think the movie as a whole is pretty much a feminine point of view of what family life can be. The movie shows us the lives of average people who get involved in hard situations at an specific moment of their lives. I suppose if the same movie had been made by a man it would be absolutely different.
PS: It was quite interesting the idea of the kids living in their own world and also involved in the whole argument, it really loose me at times.
