35 Shots of Rum (Claire Denis, 2008)

8/10
A lovely, quietly moving family drama focusing on a father and his daughter, the ties that bind them, and the eventual letting go. Writer/director Claire Denis manages to say more with glances, smiles and embraces than most can with pages of dialogue, and the acting is tremendous in an understated way all around. Thoroughly satisfying.
