Powerful, human and profound!, 13 July 2003
10/10
Author: jonachan from NYC

Loved it! A 10 as far as I'm concerned. I'm critical by nature and I think this movie was perfect. I hope to find it in a video store so my wife can see it too. Complex, real dialogue. Shows real insight. A lot of talk and never a dull or false moment. Nothing mundane about it. I'm sorry he hasn't received the praise he deserves for the incredible stuff he is writing and directing.
