This insightful and shattering Australian film gives new meaning to the adage that children should be seen and not heard. Chloe Ferguson gives a stunning, heartbreaking performance as a seven-year-old girl witnessing the disintegration of her parents' marriage. Echoes of Holly Hunter in The Piano, she refuses to speak. But we can hear the inner child, remembering her family's better times and trying to make sense of her once-idyllic world. Recommended. (K. Lee Benson)
