A touching exploration of pain

There is real anguish on display here, in a wonderful early work from a distinguished film maker.

Simple, but worth watching

Be forewarned: This movie is very low budget. The actors are probably not even payed. This film has lots of clichés and some usual typical archetypal heroes and villains, but the feelings of attachment to the characters is real. The characters go though some crap, but they stop short of self pity. I found myself cheering for them, and sharing their sadness too. Worth a watch, but don't have huge expectations. I am a big time Magnolia fan and I loved Short Cuts too, so the idea of several strangers sharing a birthday made me rent this. I don't regret it, but don't put it in the same category with the works of Robert Altman or(especially)PT Anderson.

everyone should speak about...

I've seen the movie on a premiere night and the taste that I had after watching it was that I really saw the life, in 3 days, of 5 different people. The movie never really managed to be shown in Greece, not to mention Great Halls. But all the other commercial crap that I have seen 2 years after this film, make me believe that the movie factory is a game of advertising and here we have an unjustified looser. This movie never really had the super hero inside or the super actor or the super body or breasts inside. It was real life. Some might say that the acting was that of a soap opera. Major Mistake. What are we supposed to consider as acting? Good make-up tears and heart throbbing script? The film really deserved 10 out of 10 and the actors made me really believe that they felt their characters.

P.S. Hope to see it in DVD form, soon.
