This is a great, intimate film of a family that features a stunning performance from the young Emma Bolger as the six-year-old daughter. She has a scene in an ice-cream shop that is Oscar worthy and amazing from someone so young. The movie works through its tense individual segments, such as a carnival game that kept the audience in silent anticipation. Lots of tears in the crowd at the end. Should show up in a lot of Oscar categories.
