We got uninating! We got puking! We even have some spitting! There's a fluid for everyone here, folks. Not the lead actress is excellent. Very east to look at and believable in her role. She was very well cast, actually. The uncle? Just a bit over the top portrayal of a guy living alone after the death of his wife. Eating out of canned goods and being a general idiot, mean to everyone around him. At the 55 minute mark I was wondering what the point of it all was. It starts pretty well but eventually the music will start grating on your nerves. I'm not sure why these smaller movies generally tend to tinkling pretentious slop music. The peripheral character of the young man who shows interest in her ends up being a dud. There's some genuine moments between the main characters though, and i suppose that's the point. But unfortunately overall the old guy was just too much of a downer to handle. It's difficult when one of your main characters is a complete nozzle. I get why he was doing what he was doing, sure. But the way he went about it was done lazily. Cliches abound. Too much didn't add up or ring sincere for me. The cinematography was very well done. Way too many closeups.
