HJO is the centerpiece of the film, and is in nearly every scene. He is supposed to be a 'weenie' without a male role model and finds these two when his worthless mom leaves him with two distant great-uncles with a past. What a past. The whole film involves what the past is and whether or not it is real. The plot involves whether HJO believes it is real, and whether or not it matters whether it is real. The relationships are what matters, and this picture reveals that truth. Beautifully done, no flat spots, entertaining throughout and a good 9/10.
