Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

This starts in deceptively rambling fashion by following a schoolgirl and her younger brother on a series of sort-of adventures in a wintry small town. Then summer comes, and an overnight family picnic, and through the kids' sleepy eyes and ears we gain glimpses into tensions typifying the experiences of many rural folk in an era of globalisation and mass migration. Moral inquiry, wry comedy and sheer cinematic poetry make for a film whose modest form conceals a sharp mind and a wonderfully generous heart.

    Posted on Feb 08 2012 17:20 The food and service was very underwhelming. The toilets look like you're in a dive bar and this is a decent walk away from the tube. You can easily get lost if you can even be bothered to walk 20 minutes from the tube to get there.
    The food was the most disappointing aspect.
