Rotten
A chamber piece with four characters full of unspoken needs that rarely bursts with the kind of tension required to make an impact.
Jay Weissberg, Variety
Overview
The film shows the apparently intact world of a middle class family, whose harmonious façade crumbles due to the unexpected visit of their relative Paul, a young man of 16 years. Paul arrives looking for love and support after the suicide of his father.
