Warning: Spoilers
An absolutely brooding piece where a girl is returned home 17 years after her abduction.

It's as if there is a brick wall standing between the girl and anyone she deals with. Hesitant but universally religious, she has this wall around here when she speaks and it appears that she is either in isolation or totally spaced out. Kept in a basement, she still harbors feelings for the man who abducted her and even goes so far to visit him in jail.

Saiorise Ronan and Cynthia Nixon are both excellent as daughter and mother, respectively.

The father is a more upbeat type and is much more optimistic than the Nixon character.

You can actually feel the tension in the air, but you would want the film to break out more, possibly with other characters.
