Sweetie

Jane Campion’s tragicomic tale of an ordinary dystopian family revealed a distinctive eye for human eccentricity, and confirmed her as a highly original talent.

The parents aren't much help, either... Campion's tragicomic tale of an ordinarily dystopian family revealed a distinctive eye for human eccentricity, and confirmed her as a highly original talent.
