Stunning shooting and mood, very nice acting with kids in beautiful scenery. Unfortunately the nicely built climax left you on a thin air. There was no ending in the movie.

After a very promising first half, film fails to go anywhere. Despite eliciting very good performances, and having successfully crafted an atmosphere of tension and apprehension, the filmmaker seemed to be satisfied merely to lead the viewer to the smallest of possible conclusions. Needless to say, pleasant scenery.

Very subdued but still involving, this trip to Italy is remindful of Don't Look Now and Quite Chaos.

Fairly decent family drama in which Michael Winterbottom gets most of his kicks using irregular editing and unclear angles with wobbly handheld cameras to create an atmosphere of tension and impending disaster while his young female protagonists trot unwittingly into Genoa's darker passages. As an exercise in sustained moodiness, the film works well, but it doesn't have much more to offer, such as a deeper psychological study of the guilt a child might feel after causing a tragic accident.

Grief and loss in foreboding, claustrophobic Genoa. Aspires to "Don't Look Now" but doesn't reach those heights.
