    Ernie Hudson is so good!

    Ernie Hudson is so good, why he didn't continue in the big leagues is unfathomable to me and this performance proves my point. The Filmmakers hit the jackpot with this casting because he brings such gravitas to the role. From the first surreal changes in time and space I was hooked. Such an inventive tone and narrative structure, this indie film is really worth the time.

    Outstanding and perplexing!

    This film takes us on a perplexing journey inside the mind of a loving, yet conflicted man named Marcus Wells (played by Ernie Hudson) who is imprisoned by his past. Mr. Hudson delivers an outstanding performance, his character dealing with controversial issues that are still very relevant in today's society.

    Electric, visceral, authentic, and beautiful!

    I have never seen Ernie Hudson star in such a challenging and intense role, and I now have a new respect for him. His portrayal of a middle-aged black man struggling to cling to his identity after suffering unthinkable loss cuts to the heart of what it is to be human. This beautifully shot film allows Hudson to really stretch his creative wings, and he does not disappoint. Independent films such as this reassure me that true art is still being produced. If you appreciate cinema, this is one not to miss. I found this film's uniqueness to be a breath of fresh air.

    Enigmatic; strange and confusing story of a man losing his mind

    A very enigmatic and strange story of a man losing his mind after the loss of close family members. Ernie Hudson does a fine job of portraying this character - but the movie is way too confusing to make it very enjoyable - at least to this reviewer. 5 out of 10 may be a bit generous; but I enjoyed Ernie Hudson's performance.

    Confusing and boring

    The only explanation of the high rate is that very few has rate this boring movie, and the ones that rate it as excellent were the movie makers, other than that, I dont understand how this boring, repetitive and confusing movie has a 7 when it clearly deserves a 2 max. Stay away, far away.
