Asuntos de familia

At first glance, City Island is not a particularly shocking and entertaining tragicomedy, but it's not a dull one either. It probably sounds paradoxical what I wrote, but it felt like it. We are dealing with an abnormal and dysfunctional family in which each member has their own secrets, desires and woes. Each character was well thought out in their own right and fit the actors perfectly like a tailored suit. Even though you could tell from the beginning how things would probably turn out, I was still in mild suspense until the end of the film (What if?). The cast was absolutely perfect, led by Andy Garcia and Ezra Miller. A cool movie that differs from other of its kind in that I'll remember it in the future, and in a good way. (25.12.2012)
