This is a hot mess of a movie. Starts out slow, middle is slow...thank God for the ending. The acting wasn't good. The picture was dark. The music was annoying. The characters were not developed. Simon's mother was the weak, abused wife of the philandering Victor. Too many loose ends to consider this a complete movie. I thought it was going to be fast paced and interesting. I typically like movies about reunions, but this one was dark and dreary, and very poor acting involved. The characters were boring and as stated earlier, never developed fully. You can't really empathize with any of them. The ending is predictable, but they make you sit through a bunch of crap to get to that point which seemed rushed as hell.
