I would not have written this review if the director wouldn't have rushed to complete this movie all of a sudden after 80 minutes. Don't get me wrong. I like open ends. But this was a case of...... damn we have no money anymore. Let's end the movie here with a couple of flashbacks, weird conclusions and so on.
Even with everything that is written below but with a decent ending this movie would have been okay(-ish). But this is no go..... And no it is not arty, clever, mystereous or whatever they came up with. The last 5 minutes are complete rubbish.
Allmost none of characters have background stories. Father just wears a sailor hat, acts depressed with his new toy wife. Main characters acts like a spoiled kid for 30-40 minutes without any reason (that we know of). And changes into a nice guy with any indication why he changed. Sister looks at brother like she is in love with him. Girlfriend tries to be mystereous but isn't. Therapists role.... I don't even explain how bad that part is but could have been great.
Don't get me wrong. The acting is good but the storyline and directing has been executed in a vway that hardly passes the admission of any filmschool. And just for the ending of this movie alone, any filmstudent should have been send home.
This could have been a real nice movie with the same actors but with a different editor and director.
