Review of Unrelated (2008) by Jim F — 13 Sep 2011

Joanna Hogg sure knows how to play with her characters. You have the two teams, the grownups and the teenagers, and you would be expecting the plot to highlight the generation gap, instead this time, it only shows two identical sides.

Same dull people, same boring drinking games, same meaningless arguments. Age has little to do with their actions, as caring does no go further than being polite, and hypocrisy is almighty for each and every one of these people, dull to the point of hatred.

Anna's fault is not being part of any team, you see her trying hard to find her place and finally failing disgracefully as the outsider, like the guest that broke your grandma's favorite flower vase, not even worthy of being upset with.
