Still pretty good

Wasn't sure if I'd seen it before when I put it on but eventually started to recognise it. Still worth seeing again

About criminals but not a crime film

Ida (Sandra Guldberg Kampp) was amazing from the outset. We are seeing the story from her point of view as a withdrawn (understandably owing to the death of her mum and what we inferred about her mother's life - probably alcoholic, possibly prostitute) teenager thrown into a new life with relations she barely knows since childhood (again we infer no love lost between the mum and the aunt).

The moral compass for the film is set by the family who clearly care for each other even as their relations with the outside world are pretty toxic. No moral judgement is made by the film about the business of the family - it just is.

The centre of the film is the gradual mutual acceptance of Ida and the family

A bit of a mess

Interesting for the archive footage. The footage lifted from HWY is not given any context and makes no sense at all - not being aware of the film I thought the footage was some random fictional bits added as padding or for effect.

The chronology seems to get a bit mixed up with external events referenced out of sequence and/or out of context.
