I was extremely impressed with the writing and the excellent job performed by the actors. Also the direction was spot on.
I also found the editing to be superb.
Well done. I could really feel the years
conveyed in a short space of time. I particularly liked the part about the shoes at the front door and the contrast between total acceptance of the grandchild and zero tolerance for the daughter in law. I personally loved the ending. The plane on the tray echoed the sense of loss and loneliness the mother in law would choose rather than acceptance of the daughter in law. And the pictures purposefully skewed on the wall spoke volumes. Well done.

perhaps a little bit shallow and slow, but basically i think a really refreshingly simple plot, that's been offered at it's best potential. the kid played too much with the plane for my likings, just the same waving it round.. message me back, i'm setting up a collaboration for my own screenplay and want to make contacts, even just verbal ones

I couldn't understand the ending. I know it has something to do with Sam leaving the plane behind at his Grans. Please let me know as I am intriuged.... (Bad spelling I know)
