Steve Buscemi proves once and for all that he is an overlooked talent taken for granted. He pulls triple duty here, as the writer, director, and star of this superbly made indie gem. Buscemi is top rate, but it's also a showcase for a series of excellent downscale performances; most notably Daniel Baldwin, Anthony LaPaglia, and Chloe Sevigny. The most accurate depiction of alcoholism, an emotional powerhouse of a film. Wholly original, unbelievably realistic, and absolutely brilliant. Can't wait for Buscemi to step behind the camera again.
