Standout performances by Emmett Kineman and Michael Gordon (particularly during the father/son altercation) seal the films fate. An unflinching tale of addiction, unconditional love and reconciliation. Visually, the film is well crafted with splendid cinematography and lighting – which is wrapped up with neat post-production and high-quality sound. Therkildsen has delivered a piece of filmmaking that showcases the harrowing effects of a parental addiction on a child – and the detrimental consequences in later life. Highly recommended viewing.
