Gives an outstanding, rich, and delicate look into a family where the financial situation was their least problem, but rather the problems they keep inside of the house, as it it was their own treasure they would not want to share with anyone else. Read more

Ondanks het uitblijven van een grande finale is de film niet teleurstellend. De ontknoping is in combinatie met de titel juist weer verknipt bevredigend. Read more
