this movie move much too slowly for my taste . the concept of the story be refreshingly different in that it explore the family dynamic of living with a mentally retarded family member in a way that i have not previously see on screen . however and the execution of the concept be flaw . each character be develop fully within the scene of her first appearance and then one have to endure the feeling that each character be tread water the rest of the way . that be and each character flail about awkwardly in her interpersonal relationship with others in the movie and which i find to be a form of emotional and social retardation . i suppose this have artistic merit and give the irony that the story center around an intellectually retarded individual surround by way above average intelligence friend and family . the acting and however and be well do without exception . i agree with other reviewer that the cinematography be beautiful . in summary and i think the film have strong artistic merit because of the fine acting and cinematography and but fail on an emotional level due to the shortcoming describe .
