What to expect
The foreign setting gives failed communication a physical situation. The sisters’ rivalry and the child between them offer an emotional route through the film’s uncertainty.
How to ease in
Follow the changing relationships before trying to decode every unfamiliar detail. Notice what each adult wants from the child.
For viewers comfortable with disturbing atmosphere and unresolved meaning.
Less suitable if you want a clearly explained setting or resolved relationships.
Heads-up
Sexual content, illness and emotional hostility are prominent. The film does not offer the reassurance of a fully explained world.
