Fantastic movie. Extremely well acted, and beautifully edited.
A modest film that delineates its characters beautifully, each of them struggling and striving. No big drama, just many fine quiet moments.
So many films out there, I waited too long to see this one. A beautiful existential journey into the themes of maturing, isolation, community, and the human condition. Great writing. Fine acting. Chad Hartigan pulls this nuanced story together in such a powerful and poignant way. A mystical and subtle score compliments. Beautiful to watch. . . Oh, did I say I liked it.
Subtly exciting.
The action is in the interactions- no excess drama.
These lives were enough to pique my interest.
I watched this fine film on the weekend when all the hoopla over "Star Wars" was making me nauseous; it was just what the doctor ordered. I don't feel like I need to say anything more since all the earlier reviewers here have been so eloquent, other than to add that I think we need more films like this. We need to see REAL heroes like Martin and Travis, struggling to love themselves and to win love in return; against all odds, but in particular, fear and indifference. 4.5 stars.
