“It’s not dad. It’s worse.” Two young sisters in an unhappy home perform an incantation to summon… something… anything, in the hopes of bettering their circumstances. A deeply unsettling film, enormously imaginative and aesthetically singular. Australian writer/director Michael Anthony Kratochvil is on the precipice of blowing up, with a feature adaptation of this very short at Frontières and another work, the amazing SWEET MARY, WHERE DID YOU GO?, also showing at the festival. – Mitch Davis
