After the 105 minutes you spend trying to figure out what's going on, you will leave still wondering what was in the box and why the father returned and where he was before he returned. That is a deliberate manipulation of the audience. It's an old trick designed to make the film appear profound and artful. This film is neither profound nor artful because the story is unclear. If you want to tell me something, then be clear about it.
The acting is good. The problem with this film is the writing and the directing. Save yourself time and money and wait for it to show on TV. Then perhaps you won't feel too badly about wasting your time and money because you can turn it off. Here is my advice to the writer and director: do not try to manipulate your audience, and go back to school.
