Typical European family drama that deals with the effects upon a young girl of growing up with an alcoholic, abusive father. Rather heavy going with little relief. Interestingly the actress who plays the younger Noomi Raplace is the same one from the "Girl Who..." series and gets more screen time in this film that Noomi, who stars alongside her real-life husband, in the present day timeline of the story.
