... on heavens door?

Well not really - on the other hand what do I know? Not that much to be truthful. I could tell you what happens at the end of the movie - but it would be - well there are certain ways to interpret what actually happens or rather happened there (and before).

The central performance is qute something. Yes this is a slow burning independent movie - I don't think this should come as a surprise. Neither that it uses certain proven tropes (or I guess you could call them "cliches"). Still and because of that powerful performance and because the movie keeps you guessing ... this may tickle your interest. And if it does and it manages to tickle all the right parts ... you will be entertained - for sure.

Having said that, you have to be in the mood for this. And for possible explanations. I read one about the ending and I have to admit that ... well it's not that I disagree, but whoever wrote that, seems too certain to know what the ending meant and how we should interpret it ... I on the other hand am telling you ... you can read it exactly opposite to what I read and what someone else wrote. So if ambiguity does not get you annoyed, I can recommend the movie for sure.
