It seems that many viewers struggled to review this film, as I did myself, simply based on the unexpected ending. I started to skip this one, until I decided to research the individual for whom the film was dedicated. I was glad to have made the effort as it sort of 'humanized' the overall investment and sacrifice of many just to make the film, thus shifting my perspective from deflated emotions to a more balanced objective. That being said, I give the movie a solid '7' overall for the creative and talent componants, and the forging ahead to complete and bring it to market, as I can imagine the challenge for some in moving forward following the tragedy of a beloved member. As far as recommending, I would probably only do so if by prefacing that the viewer research facts revealed afterwards as I did. I would also highly suggest that they not attempt to do so prior to watching the film. Lastly, I came to final conclusion through writing this, that sometimes, life just doesn't make sense, and we're left to adjust to the truth that "it is what it is" and that's all it is.
