Familles je vous hais

In this his first film director Bruno Bontzolakis has attempted to extend the playing time of a shortfeature story without complete success The focus is on 17yearold Jessica who is struggling with reconciling the love she has for her father with the hatred she has for his rightwing politics Instead of a shorter story dealing with this conflict alone Bontzolakis has drawn attention away to peripheral subjects like the depressed mother of one of Jessicas friends or the inveterate drinker at the local bar interesting but distracting at the same time
