Not a "Feel good" movie!
I cannot explain what mood you should be in, to truly appreciate this film. But its definitely not the typical trash that hollywood has been churning out lately. Be ready with a pocketfull of tissues.
What starts as a slow low budget drama, begins to get uncomfortable halfway in and continues to pick up emotional steam as it goes on. Last time I remember a movie with such impact while basically filming its entirety in one room was "Glengary Glen Ross". And that one was packed with stars. Frazier carries the load in this one.
Intense. Well worth the ticket price. Brendan should see an award this year.
