Judging by the basic summery of this you might end up thinking that's it's a corny, little family-relationship movie that has probably been done before, it's mostly what I thought as well. In reality however this turns out to be a really good drama/subtle comedy, sure it's not really groundbreaking or anything, but it is still really good. The story, despite being somewhat commonplace, is good and sold, developing slowly through the length of the movie towards an un-climactic it very satisfying end. Honestly it is the fact that is is un-climactic that it really works to be a good story, it would have been incredibly cheesy if they had just wrapped things up in a tiny bow at the end, instead we get what truly feels like an episode of a longer and perhaps more complex relationship/relationships.
The acting is great all around, the small cast almost makes this feel like a play and that all together in't a bad thing. The directing and writing is good, and the location itself is amazing, it's worth watching this movie just to get that feel of being in an beautiful, isolated cabin/house surrounded by trees and woodland. I don't know where this was shot, but from the looks of it I'm guessing it was Canada.
In short, you'll like this if you like small independent dramas.
