It's hard for me to judge this, since it's only available in French with no subtitles, so I understood nearly none of the dialogue. But I was able to get the gist of the story, partly because it's very simple, and partly because the actors are expressive enough for me to understand the basics of what they're saying, even if I only pick up a word or two. It's actually a pretty brutal film, with some disturbing bits of child abuse that's nearly unbearable to watch at times, and a completely uncompromising and depressing ending. That said, there's some stuff to be admired here: it does a great job of setting a mood and atmosphere, with a haunting organ score, shadowy lighting, and uncomfortably close camera work; the acting is solid enough, though it's admittedly hard to tell; the story, while simplistic, is effective in evoking strong emotions. It's a dark, dreary film, but it does its job well.
