« Lanctôt also blurs barriers between 'reality' and 'acting' through the use
of video footage of the actors chewing the fat about their performances,
their lives, and the points of contact between them. These sequences are
the most jarringly anti-narrative part of the film, and in no small part are
what distinguish it from a conventional family melodrama. This
self-referentiality, aside from being distancing, however, serves as an echo
of the subject of the narrative that it is interrupting. »
