I thought this movie was pretty decent for what was apparently such a low-budget independent effort. The director, Sean Devlin, obviously has a pretty good eye, and a lot of the film is rather beautiful, poetic even. Unfortunately, the character development is rather rushed, and I wasn't left with the sweet feeling inside that the final shot perhaps suggested I should have had. This movie could have been really good ... had it not been for that damned guy who starred as Avery. He was absolutely horrible, an over actor of the greatest degree. He belongs in perhaps an attack of the giant sasquatch type film, where his mugging, and overacting would be better suited. Other than having him spoil many scenes for me, the movie was surprisingly good. I hope Devlin makes more.

Great, but "not that guy".

I really enjoyed this film. Yeah 'that guy' wasn't very good but it looks like he's not really an actor anyway, can't fault him for that, he hasn't done anything else. Doesn't really matter 'cause Aubrey Tennant was interesting enough to carry the whole thing and Devlin made a film that reaffirms my belief in the power of independent cinema. I saw so much cookie cutter indie sh*t last year, but this is what low budget movies should be, exploration. It kept me mentally engaged while still entertaining, was beautifully shot and featured a couple Vancouver celebrities in cameo roles. In my top 10 favorite films I saw all last year. Intrigued to see what's next
