The voices and animation seemed natural and together quite emotive, but I felt the acting parts destroyed the integrity of the peice. The conflictions between animation and film, between past and present and the reversed dependancy of mother and daughter seemed merely conflictions in style and on paper than frightening portrayals of a child's perception of a distorted mentally ill mind; a mind belonging to its own mother.
The unrealistic filmed parts left everything else feeling somehow fake and therefore unimportant.

why is it? nothing will play,the screen comes up then im waiting for coal miners.I have every screen available

Very good -especially the use of testimony plus imaginative animation and acting. I have worked with mentally ill people as an art therapist - but without contact with other members of the family.
