Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
A more fitting title for the film would be "Limping."
If "Lilting" was a play, it would run for months.
It is, as the title suggests, sweet - but also slight.
Guilt hangs over "Lilting," a suffocating haze so thick that it permeates every unspoken, non-understood word between characters trying to traverse a frustrating gulf of language and grief.
