This small scale, slow moving story of the secrets buried beneath the everyday pleasantries of a family in turmoil has just enough grace and charm to keep it from sinking.

This small scale, slow moving story of the secrets buried beneath the everyday pleasantries of a family in turmoil has just enough grace and charm to keep it from sinking.
A dull, lifeless movie that is predictable, familiar, and far from challenging.
Every element of haunting noir feels flawless on its own, but Del Toro brings them all together to craft a film of near perfection.
Life is a journey, and we all take different paths to realizing our own key to happiness.
