I liked the movie alot. As someone else said, its quite unusual, but this is one of the reasons I enjoy it so much. I think it was meant to be an artsy film, so there is a lot left up to individual interpretation. At the very core, there is a story about a dysfunctional family (the father is the catalyst of the dysfunction). Looking deeper, I think the movie speaks to me about how to not let relationships fall by the wayside.
