A twisted family of watchers, 3 April 1999
Author: TavaT from Sacramento, California

This is one twisted family. The 18 year old son Van is involved with his father's live in lover, and his father's phone sex fantasy woman. The family's story is told as if it is all recorded on video and played back in no particular order. The story is very compelling, Van is especially endearing, but the movie is very strange. Still, I recommend it.

killer film, 19 September 2005

Author: stanleykay from United States

one of those rare gems you find once in a blue moon. Totally under-rated and under-appreciated, with a fascinatingly well told story, great characters, strong ethnic flavor in North America, and from a totally (at that time) unknown (Atom Egoyan). I knew it, right there and then this guy would only do great films. It parallels Spielberg's Jaws as a directorial debut. There is nothing to say, since it is a visual media - words would only take away from the film. Get it. See it. This moronic site requires 10 lines of text in order to post the message so I'll just copy the above again: of those rare gems you find once in a blue moon.
