Around the Web

Seriously one of the best films I've ever seen; terrifically well structured, brilliantly acted, beautifully shot, and contains what is probably the strongest use of diegetic music since Three Colors: Blue. In my opinion, this and Steve McQueen's Hunger are the two finest films of 2008.

One of the best films I have watched this year. Just perfect.
Anny on Letterboxd
Probably the most depressing yet uplifting film about the death of a child I’ve seen since Blue, though this one is definitely more accessible in its execution (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing). While the latter film emotionally resonated with me more, this one stands on its own as a great study of grief, guilt and the search for redemption/closure.
