I suspect that most people who would watch this very low budget film might consider it simply awful. Some will consider it pornographic for the fairly explicit sexual scenes in the first part of the film. Others may consider it depressing (it is but not without a ray of hope) and/or self-indulgent.

However if, like me, films dealing with the dark side, "Leaving Las Vegas" for example, resonate with you you may enjoy this as it is a film that explores the emptiness, alienation and loneliness of life in our time.

Personally I felt a sense of empathy for the characters and liked it quite a lot. I recommend it to like-minded viewers.

As a reformed leftist who participated in the turbulence of the 60's and 70's, I find this film has the ring of truth and deserves to be watched. Most people in this country are naive and simply don't recognize how the left operates and what their real goals are for this country. As a result they are blinded to the signs which are right in front of their eyes.

However, that being said, I was somewhat put off by the tabloid style especially in the early part of the film. It almost made me feel that if one listens to jazz and likes poetry then they are suspect of being unAmerican which is a J. Edgar Hooveresque stereotype that I heartily reject. Sometimes things are more nuanced than what this film presents. Also, I don't know if many of the photographs of Obama's mother are real or not, however the assertion that Obama's real father was Frank Marshall Davis is very plausible to me and goes a long way toward explaining many things that I find troubling about the "official" account of Obama's upbringing.

After watching the whole film my response was that the real Obama has finally been unmasked even though I was somewhat put off by it's tabloid style. I urge everyone to watch it and ponder its message. The future of the country is on the line.
