i really enjoyed the performance by christian bale he did great, and the sisters were amazing as well, so was the mother. mark was ok but not really a stretch from his other stuff in comparison to christian bale i just kept seeing marky, mark. but the authenticity of the sisters and the mother were dead on we all have meet people like them and the story was pretty good. wanted to see more from christian, the sisters and the mother however...they should do a sequel with just them in my opinion....
i thought the scenery was great, and just seeing robert kissing another man was hot, but the story line was difficult to follow and the movie was a little weird. i noticed several people leaving the theatre never to return...
