Reviews
More than a decade in the making, this humanistic study of a desperate family seeking refuge in a not-quite-empty New York apartment is not only a classic “calling-card” from a director clearly bound for “bigger” things but also a self-contained achievement that showcases shorts’ trump-cards: concision, brevity, economy. Shot pre- and completed post-“45,” its depths of empathetic realism gracefully transcend the boundaries of any epoch, or confining space. (VIENNA SHORTS)
