I really found that I Enjoyed this movie a lot from start to finish. The acting is phenomenal, and the production is really top notch for a movie with obviously no real budget. Hollis is a lonely man going about his business trying not to hurt anyone, and for the most part minding his own, and not getting involved in any of the crazy stuff that he sees roaming the streets each day, while at home his mother is slowly wasting away. Then he meets Swan as she is called for most of the movie, one of the many drifters in this world who has seen more than most people would ever believe, and is not afraid to just come out, and tell you what she wants. Once they find each other you can tell that Hollis's life will never be the same. He sees someone that needs to be protected, and she feels no such thing about herself, however the two bond so quickly, and find that they have what the other so needs in this world of lost souls. There are many well developed side characters who only serve to help in developing our two main protagonists into more rounded personalities. The fever dreams that Hollis is lost, and afraid in that are caused by his Nic patches are a nice touch of fantasy that most people will enjoy. I whole heartedly recommend this movie as a great drama that has a good solid, and very adult story that will draw you in, and hold you till the end. You will like Hollis within the first few minutes, and you will feel for him in his moments of weakness. So get on it.
