It's not strange for good films, but it's down to 89 now. This is a documentary about a family with a lot of skeletons in its closets. Looks fascinating.

It's depressing as hell. I couldn't watch all of it. Too much like what I heard about from relative who was a social worker with such people and also have seen such stories frequently in the courts. True to life, but I don't want to see it in a movie.

Some great halloween imagery. I felt sorry for the Wiccan daughter. How ignorant the father who could not accept her ways.

I need to see this film soon, hopefully before October. I don't take joy out of others' misery, but I don't get depressed by seeing their lives onscreen. It makes me feel a bit better of my own wretched/joyful existence.

"I felt sorry for the Wiccan daughter"
That was his sister & I know what you mean, I felt the same. Its a shame they couldnt patch up their differences. Life's too short to hold a grudge over something that was said such a long time ago regardless of how hurtful it was. In my eyes, it looks like she is hurting from regret a lot more than her brother knows. I hope they get to talk it over, just the two of them, one day before it's too late.

I agree that the "Wild and Wonderful Whites" was a much better made documentary about a much more interesting family.

I have no idea. It's depressing as hell. And it's not a film about the working poor as no one seems to work. They're all mooching off the government. Everybody smokes - even the pregnant daughter. They smoke around the baby. The only sympathetic character is the grandmother. Who wants to spend over an hour watching people whose lives are just pointless? I did, but I'm not happy about it.

Story was kind of weak, I agree. However, as far as moving pictures w/ sound goes... It was out of this world good. It was just something beautiful to watch.
