This Estonian film centres around a family and there relationships. Beautifully shot and paced with sparing dialog but acting that fills in the spaces with more than words could ever convey. This is Northern European cinema so it's for an audience that is expected to be attentive and patient (not a popcorn movie) and with that in mind sit back and enjoy. I loved it, it moved me and made me remember why I hunt out little gems like these.

Bad movie but not a trash
Although the name of the movie is Rain it is actually Estonian movie,but the quality is Chinese. The movie is about 12 yo boy Ats who's brother returns but we don't know from where nor why. There aren't lots of dialogs in the movie,there are some scenes where 3 people eat but nobody is talking anything. The brother Rain likes to smoke cigars and play drums but other than that there isn't much information about him. The plot seems absolutley random,like the director had no clue what he was doing.
All in all,this was huge waste of time and I would rate this 3/10.
