A struggling musician takes an overnight long-distance drive in order to fight his estranged wife for custody of their young daughter.
Modest, fitfully moving.
There are so many long, pregnant silences in So Yong Kim's understated drama that you sometimes wonder if the actors have forgotten their lines.
A tremendous performance by Paul Dano is the central virtue of this surprisingly tender film about a separated couple and their fight over their small daughter.
About as enjoyable as frustration and loneliness can be.
Awkward, spartan storytelling from Korean director So Yong Kim that captures the tender heart of family bonds.
This is mumblecore stuff with touching, truthful moments.
