Wir sind was wir sind (2010)
39KWir sind was wir sind: Directed by Jorge Michel Grau. With Francisco Barreiro, Paulina Gaitan, Alan Chávez, Carmen Beato. When the patriarch of the family passes away, the teenage children must take responsibility for the family chores: the preparation of the rituals, the hunting and putting the all-important meat on the table. These newfound responsibilities are even more daunting, however, when you live in the city and happen to be a family of cannibals.
“I am a huge fan of European films and of horrors and with this film being compared to Let The Right One In in many reviews I read, my expectations were high. This apparently does for cannibals what Let The Right One In did for vampires.. Unfortunately the film didnu0026#39;t live up to my expectations. An enjoyable film needs to have at least one of the following: strong dialogue, interesting storyline, intreging characters, excitement, terrific direction; We Are What We Are, I felt, had little or none of any. I didnu0026#39;t know enough about the characters to care about them getting food and saw no reason why they should kill the innocent (or whores as they muchly discussed) so that they could eat? Nor did I like the mother, or the youngest brother. I felt no attachment to the incestuous relationship. I felt that the mockery of the police was pointless and frustrating. I stayed in the cinema to watch the film and I wasnu0026#39;t bored just highly disappointed. Would I recommend this movie? No… Do I feel like I wasted 90minutes of my life watching it? No… It was just an OK portrayal of a family coping with their issues. Donu0026#39;t rush to the cinema to see it (unless like me you have unlimited membership) just wait until its shown on Channel 4 if ever it is.”
