Review: In America
An intimite view of a small tragic family drama. Nicely worked out character-driven story, where everything feels a tiny bit more real, instead of the usual contrived feeling you get with scripted drama. Performances are great, even the little girls give a smashing performance. Definitely one of the better independent movie from the past two years (as this one has been on the shelf for quite some time. Opening in the Canadian Film Festival in 2002, nominated for Golden Globes in 2004).8-.
