Superb plot, acting, and sets. Siobhan Hogan Fallon has created a story for the ages about loss, loneliness, failure, isolation, commitment, friendship, humanity, and redemption. While this story appears to have a singular trajectory that focuses on the relationship between the two main characters, there are multiple examples of broken people just trying to do their best, experiencing all of the above in smaller ways. Siobhan Fallon Hogan's character, Val, strives to "serve" to the best of her ability, the death row inmate, Jackson and she does so with humility and tenderness. Val expressions of service are metaphorically rich leaving this viewer and others in stunned silence during the closing credits. I urge everyone to see it.
