A bleak film that leaves a great deal to interpretation and the viewer's imagination. Even the mystery of the title, "St. Nick", is never revealed. It stands as one of those pieces of film making that is haunting and satisfying in a way that will make the viewer think about what exactly happened, what the untold story is, what drives the desperation and desire. Intriguing stuff with great acting and direction.

While I understand and appreciate the quietness and intentions presumably behind the long periods with little to no action or sound, this film dragged on and the least satisfying part was the fact that we never learn the characters' motivations for running away from home. With at least a little insight to that, it would have been much more relatable.
I love films about kids but there isn't much happening here on any level. Might be satisfying for those who romanticize abandoned houses in Texas.
beautiful film_the kids are wonderful & great
