I wanted to like this movie, but I found it really hard trying to keep up with what was going on. It didn't seem like James Franco really sold his character very well and that may be more due to editing than his acting abilities. The story is not smooth and tries to bring in too many elements to tell this tale. It doesn't give you time to really bond with the characters and their feelings or their struggle. You are introduced to the characters and after it just goes all over the place.
The story is about a young man who is a writing who writes telling his story of his abuse. His story comes into question and his life spirals from there. Again, if they spent a bit more time introducing who he is and was with some back-story beforehand, then this film would have been better executed. From my take, it was a butchered mess of a film with not much context.
