trier's cinematic languange doesn't smoothly translate when he transitions to an english feature.
the film shares allot in common with his last two films but with a lack of nuance.
i don't really know what i just watched. not in that its super terrible but the film feels so unclear over what to say or where to go.
again, the performances are great but there isn't much density to this one.watch my films

Overview
Three years after his wife, acclaimed photographer Isabelle Reed, dies in a car crash, Gene keeps everyday life going with his shy teenage son, Conrad. A planned exhibition of Isabelle’s photographs prompts Gene's elder son, Jonah, to return to the house he grew up in — and for the first time in a very long time, the father and the two brothers are living under the same roof.
