The film is an impeccable portrait of an orderly suburb ... everything is on schedule, perfectly normal, and yet there are secret forces at work underneath. Yes, it's a bit obvious in metaphor and symbolism, but it undermines this with sharply funny jabs at itself and its characters. And while it does get a bit rambly and slow, this is such an intriguing film, and so beautifully photographed and edited, that it can't help but touch us on some level. The acting is excellent, sometimes so raw that it takes away our breath as it examines concepts of home, age, regret, change and the things we depend on.
