This is a film about a family coming together for a holiday, well almost all the family..
The undercurrents of resentment, unhappiness, family strife are cringe worthy but not overacted or overexposed.
The weather works well with the story, clouds and cold. The metaphor of watercolours as an on the surface not too intrusive thank you very much hobby for unhappy people.
The treatment of the cook by the different members of the family illustrates their philosophy in life or how they see their role in society I do not remember the music which means it either was illustrative of the film or lacking..
