I found this film while stumbling around Buffalo 8 titles and thought it sounded intriguing. And man, it's such a sharp, funny, off beat, truthful and in the end, profound examination of life. Yeah it's low budget, but it's really really well shot and well edited and the performances are really truthful and grounded. One thing I appreciated about the film is that it goes pretty much exactly where you think it's going to go, but the twists and turns of the story are very nuanced and it's in those twists and turns that the characters grow and evolve. In some ways this film is like a less deranged and more dryly comedic "Edmund", which happens to be one of my favorite films.
