"Independent" need not be "amateurish"
Despite the good reviews others have posted, this movie falls short of a higher rating than the one I offer. The themes of friendship, loyalty, personal direction, and personal aimlessness are interesting. The setting is original and the filming is done rather well (the angles, the lighting, the location). The problem is the acting and the writing.
The acting is very amateurish and the story is over written (the dialogue is stilted for the characters and the delivery is continuously rushed by the actors). The director does have a good eye, as the camera angles and the beautiful opening photography engage the viewer, but once the actors open their mouths not even the cinematography can save it.
