Saturn

It's one of those movies that leaves you thinking after they're finished. How many people around Us living a stressful life like Drew's and they literally run out of options! Scott caan gives an amazing performance, his father as well! And MIA KIRSHNER!! I was so surprised! I wish there was More to the plot though. It did get a little boring in the beginning plus we never got to understand who sarah really is.. But all in all it's so good for a 90s indie movie.

This movie was so beautiful and so moving, I cried while watching it.

I was impressed by the visual style and completely unaware of the acting - that's how caught up I was.

I prefer the music on the original film as Saturn before it was redone as Speed of Life.

One of my very favorite movies.

Like a lot of indie films, it doesn't seem to know what it's about, but it has a nice understated tension that keeps it from being dull. The main thread is about a young man caring for his disabled father. Everything else is a jumble of tangents--his fling with a female artist looking for kicks, his dead-ender street buddy, his run-ins with the cop on the block, his attempts at school and a career, his brief job as a drug dealer. None of these quite make sense, since the son clearly can't afford to leave his father alone for even an instant, given dad's tendency to nearly fall down elevator shafts and wander outside in his wheelchair. Scott Caan channels much of his real father's (James) charm, and I wonder if this was originally intended as a vehicle for them both. Leo Burmester gibbers and drools effectively, though you wish he had more lucid flashbacks. The film meanders without a plan, much like its protagonist, but the threads pull together enough for a "holy s--t" ending. End result is that it deserves to be better known, at least for the performances by Caan and the late great Burmester.

What an incredible movie, intense and touching.

The storyline is incredible, and the pace with which it's told is simply perfect. The cinematography by Matthew Libatique and the music by Ryeland Allison fit perfectly and complement one another.

I found myself hooked from the very first minute and stayed hooked till the very last.

The cast is incredible; Leo Burmester is absolutely incredible, very intense and heart-touching.

But the one I've enjoyed most in this movie is Scott Caan. I am a huge fan of his, but I don't think I've ever seen him better than here. He's really carrying the whole story by himself, an absolutely believable and realistic performance. His pain and brokenness translate to the viewer, they are absolutely palpable.

Definitely a must-see, a true gem of movie making

Narcissism is the focal point of this movie...A script that places a drug addicted playboy ahead of his ailing father..oh the decadence of the Western world This movie abandons all self-control, compassion, and empathy, as it reflects upon the world we now live live in.....A world of self-indulgence, reckless behavior, without any consequence....In summation: Accountability is a bygone behavior, of a long forgotten past. Dementia, and Alzheimer's are indeed very challenging diseases...Sadly the writer of this movie did not incorporate more friends and family, that were or could have helped with the sick dad. I was dumbfounded to see the son murder his dad (pops) in cold blood, but I imagine, this is what sells to the masses these days.....just my thoughts.
