Reviews

The script is shallow, the editing choppy and discontinuous. Contains multiple scenes of animal abuse and child neglect which would be OK if they had some bearing on the story, but they are written as if to offer some kind of bizarre comic relief.

The characters lack depth and the photography is mediocre.

The editing seemed to include scenes that could or should have been deleted for lack of contribution to the story. The sound track is also horrendous - after one rather depressing scene it cuts to a fast driving scene with upbeat music and the transistor is jarring to say the least.

Avoid like the plague or you will walk away disappointed and disturbed.

It's not often I run across a gem like this without having heard of it and knowing what to expect. I sat down one evening with a glass of wine, loaded up Netflix and watched this on the their watch-online service. The film has some really excellent mainstream actors in it and yet it's not a big budget movie. Half way through I was on the edge of my seat and towards the end my jaw was dropping. It's a great old-school movie with no CGI or cheap watch-the-birdie tricks. It's just great acting and a great script and plot.

What a great film. Complements to the creators.

Mark.
