1/1

All the principal actors do a great job, especially Lindsey Shaw and Judd Nelson. The assured and unusual visuals take you long for the emotional ride.

I know Judd Nelson has had his ups and downs over the decades, but I love him in New Jack City and The Breakfast Club. I watched this indy film on Amazon Prime because of Nelson and much to my surprise I honestly think this in one of his all time best performances. He's not in it much but he brings such a strength and gravity to the role. No joke. Seriously watch him in this movie, it's incredibly impressive what he does with a mostly silent part (it's not a silent movie, the character is a deeply troubled man of few words). It'd be great to see his talents shine in more movies like this. Cast him!

The Good - the music, the excellent shots, Lindsey Shaw...and oh my yes, Judd Nelson. The best scene is the end argument with Joan/mom. It's riveting.

The Bad - mayyyybe too much editing, it's very loud

The Ugly - the fornication in the bathtub - you'll know it when you see it and you won't forget it.

This is a filmmaking masterpiece, shows how you dont need a big budget and a lot of actors to make a great movie. It is so well executed. I loved the usage of text in transitioning the storyline and also the close up shots, which make a great point.

1/1 has a good message about family and love and forgiveness. I mean, it's an odd movie and if the story were told simpler, it would be more effective. Any yet, in the end, I was touched.
