So, this one’s a bit of a gem from '88, revolving around a teacher's family dynamics. The mother’s absence due to illness really sets a somber tone, and you can feel the weight of that in every scene. The house they live in, an old multifamily unit, adds a claustrophobic atmosphere, almost a character in itself. The father, played with a gentle fragility, struggles but shows a warmth that’s relatable. The pacing is slow but purposeful, letting you sink into their daily lives and the quiet struggles they face. It's not flashy, but that simplicity gives it a unique charm. Definitely worth exploring for its themes of family and vulnerability.
