Movie Haiku: | Members of 3 families with relatives long settled in the USA flee Haiti during the Duvalier Regime in the 1980s. Individual scenes are extremely moving but the whole fails to grow beyond a sum of parts. Most successful are 2 sisters & a married couple. Least successful are the struggles of a son faced with a father who was one of the torturers. NOT YET SEEN BY RICH |
