Welcome to the Rileys from Jake Scott

Floor mats and ring plates on which the visitors are provided with "Welcome welcome", should always give reason for skepticism, as is often the visitors just seen in these houses is limited you. That is the case even with the Rileys in the new film by Jake Scott. Despite a large bell appropriately lettered sign, the two tenants live sealed off in their own world.

Actually, Doug and Lois have died long ago even though outwardly they are still alive. After the accidental death of her only daughter, although in fact they live together in a house yet, but everyone inside is trapped in his world of pain, to which there is no access for others. These are the strategies that select both work around with this pain, very different. While Doug is looking into the affair distraction with a waitress, drugged with pills to Lois for years and refuses to leave the house. To know only when Doug on a business trip, the 16-year old prostitute Mallory, the father awakens in him feelings, is also moving into the icy relationship between the constellation Doug and Lois. Gradually, the couple manages to overcome the internal rigidity and return to life. But Mallory is increasingly annoyed by the unwanted role of foster parents and her surrogate daughter. Nevertheless, all recovered at the end of something, but remains open, who is here now saved whom.

Jake Scott has made a touching movie about a deep pain that is never uttered, and so preserved forever under a thin layer remains. Every time someone touches the outside of the wound, it hurts like the first day. There is only one way out, after the trauma are willing to continue to crowd out their own past and leave their usual life patterns.

Transporting the great actor Melissa Leo, James Gandolfini and Twilight Star Kirsten Stewart is not exactly easy to digest story almost effortlessly and circumnavigate the danger of slipping into feeling Blessed. Pleasant, even as the film on the strength of his images without leaving dialoglastig to explain it all. There is much silence but there are always liberating Situtationskomik that helps to recover at least briefly by the melancholy.
