Talk About It
Discussion starters
  1. How do the three siblings deal with their grief?

  2. What is the relationship between the characters and the material objects that are important to them—i.e., the home, the paintings, etc.?

  3. In what kind of light does the film portray family?

  4. Do you think the story is depressing? Uplifting? A little bit of both?


The Family Corner
For parents to consider

The film is not rated. There is nothing objectionable in it, though there are some slightly grown-up themes—death, mostly, and also a brief scene in which a father and daughter talk about drug use.

What other Christian critics are saying:
  1. Plugged In
  2. Crosswalk
  3. Catholic News Service
  4. Past the Popcorn

I should like to see this film soon. My favorite Binoche film is Bee Season.
