This is one of those hidden gems that not nearly enough people will ever get to see....regrettably.
Most of the reviews have covered all that can be said about the film and some are spot on. Those that didn't like it or were uber-critical of the film, probably either reek of the pretentious ilk, are ruled by a cynical or hardened heart, or lack the maturity necessary to appreciate it. I do understand it doesn't contain the easiest subject matter to initiate.
As many have noted, it's an extremely provoking, deep, and emotional film. I'm so glad to see I'm not the only one to acknowledge William H Macy's talent both in front of and behind the camera.
This movie will unfortunately be lost and forgotten among the big studio and blockbuster productions. I wish I could have persuaded more friends and associates to check it out. The truth is I although gravitate more toward the action, sci-fi, faster paced genres, I welcomed what this film delivered. Granted, I was a music ed major in college, I'm also a Marine Corps vet, adventure seeker type. This movie is refreshing, and without a doubt an awesome diversion from your typical high powered, big budget, endorphin-targeted feature films of today. I HIGHLY recommend it.
