What makes this film worth watching?
"Silver continues to tend a genre nearly of his own creation: the farce as survey of micro-American habit." - Chuck Bowen, Keyframe

Slice-of-life "New Yorker" magazine short - story kind of movie. Left unresolved at the end, which only heightens the mood of the various characters' uncertainty over which pathways to take at their lives' crossroads….

Excellent theme let down by a limp cliché ridden script.

There's no need to comment on the ending of a film when you're posting a review.
I found nothing in this film of interest
WEAK ACTORS, THE STORY LINE NEVER MATURED JUST LIKE IT'S CAST..IT HAD SCENES THAT BUILD UP THEN PLATEAUED, WHY ATTEMPT SUSPENSE WHEN EVERY PREDICAMENT APPEARED SHORT LIVED AND BLAND
Some fascinating moments early on gives the promise of inventive storytelling, but it slowly shows itself to be as strictly formulaic as any Michael Bay movie.
Silver's most formally accomplished film thus far in his career is also the result of his least narrative and thematically accomplished.
It's reasonably well-made, reasonably well-acted and the emotions driving the characters well-defined. And perhaps that's why this film didn't resonate with me as much as it could have. I felt as though I had seen this all before, although admittedly not in this exact manner. Still, a good, albeit slow-paced, drama and anyone intrigued by the description will probably enjoy it sufficiently.
