3 sisters and a slightly demented brother return home to comfort their mother in her last weeks as she succumbs to cancer.I found this quirky Australian movie incredibly annoying and could never adjust to the wavelength of director Christina andreef although some people might. for the first 10 minutes I felt that the characters were merely reading their lines and the acting was unimpressive although it did improve during the film.I found it painful to watch but other people have liked it so make up your own mind.
