Plots(1)
Matt Sobel, in his first feature, creates a world wrought with secrets, misinterpretations, and subtext. Ryder, an artsy teenager, travels from California with his parents, Don and Cindy, for a family reunion in Nebraska. Upon their arrival, Ryder's impish nine-year-old cousin, Molly, leads him to a barn to show him a bird's nest. What happens behind barn doors makes Ryder the sudden target of suspicion and unearths a long-buried family secret. Ryder and his parents are ill-equipped to handle the fallout; Cindy, in particular, does her best to remain positive. Ultimately, Ryder must come to terms with the truth on his own.

I cannot help it, but even though the movie didn't really say anything and didn't find a resolution, at least on that pressing question, to which you were expecting an answer, in the end, I simply didn't feel like I was deprived of anything. Another one of those slow movies, where seemingly nothing is happening, but in reality, too much happens. And some scenes are very disturbing, but still, I didn't leave the movie with a bad feeling.
