    A beautiful push back on the rampant materialism of our time

    A very beautiful and moving film. This film inspires a refreshing path and has a quietly heroic protagonist. The cinematography is stunning and what an amazing visual homage to Portland. The writing is under-stated but not in a pretentious way. The story and characters develop with a lot of subtle elegance. Richard gave such a lovely, tender performance. The film's message is a valuable and unique push back on the rampant materialism of our time.
