good back-story, and good acting

brilliant actors, brilliant editing

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

This film is beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. I loved it. After watching it through, the opening with the balloons had even more weight to it. Nothing was spoon-fed to me as a viewer. It was gorgeously shot. The choices that Christopher Holmes and Christopher Schneider made perfectly stated the atmosphere. The way they worked with color and framing completely complimented the pacing. Watched it on Blu Ray, but I'm sure the DVD will do it justice. Holmes is a filmmaker to watch for in the future. There was a wonderful Terrence Malick feel to it and it was poetic character piece I enjoyed from start to finish. Joshua Brady did an outstanding job in the role. Can't recommend this enough for film fans. Your'e in for a hidden gem.
