User Reviews

Very moving story with disarmingly strong performances.

I saw this movie at the 1999 SXSW Film Festival in Austin. Director Anderson effectively delivers this story of two people unprepared to deal with the consequences of their immaturity with a minimum of sentimentality and a maximum of passion. Key to the film's success is a stunning performance by Marisa Ryan as Zoe. Everyone I saw this film with agreed that she should immediately proceed to the head of the class of young actresses working in film today. A heart-wrenching, life-affirming turn. Hopefully this film will get a theatrical or video release soon. And casting directors should pay closer attention to Ryan. Marisa rocks!
