“Oliveri is confident enough in his material to keep his camera mostly at a distance, to eschew any kind of emotion-cueing score, and to let the desolation of his well-timed silences be filled, perhaps even momentarily sweetened, by the nuances of both the screenplay and the performances. It is an impressive debut”
Anton Bitel, Eye for Film
“…an assured debut from an untrained film-maker, shot in 35mm black and white, full of wide- and long-shots and suspenseful silences.”
Fionnuala Halligan, Screen Daily
Three estranged siblings reunite after the death of their father. Amidst secrets and recriminations, is there a hope for reconciliation? Starring Lia Williams, Marianne Oldham and Justin Salinger.
"The result is a chamber piece - and a ghost story of sorts (certainly a return of the repressed) - marked by a subtlety born of understatement. All three performers eschew shrill histrionics for more fine-tuned nuance, allowing viewers to bridge for themselves the emotional distance between these differently damaged characters"
Anton Bitel, Projected Figures.
