... while Hope and Greenwood are both pretty good, overall the film is fairly boring... with a good number of individual sub-stories that just don't add much at all... the few scenes when the two of them are onscreen together are the most compelling-entertaining.. the overall production would had benefited greatly had there been more of them.

... lots of parts not coming together making a whole
This film tries too hard
Is it just me or do all the other reviews sound like they were written By the same source? LoL That feels sad to me. On to my review. This is a case of a Screenwriters words sounding better in his head than they do being said by real people - real people don't talk like this. Though its ambition is to seem raw, deep and thought provoking it comes across as shallow, laughable at times and so awkward I had to turn away from second hand embarrassment. I would skip this movie.
Stunning
Leslie Hope spectacular, brave, funny and gripping in this role-- she doesn't put a foot wrong. The direction was gorgeous, worth the price of admission alone; managing to be sensitive and boldly confident at the same time. The supporting cast as well, are all spot on. The writing is provocative, sad, humorous, strange--never predictable. A unique and lovely film.
