Stunning Debut, 1 April 2006
10/10
Author: Todd Klick from United States

Great writing. Great direction. Superb acting. A stunning debut film that displays the triple-threat talents of Lapica (writer, director and lead actor). The film reminded me of the self-recognition-angst I felt when I first read one of my all-time favorite books, Catcher In The Rye. Lapica's character (based on a true story) is the Holden Caulfied of our generation. In addition, the editing is excellent, especially the money/drug exchange scene. The music compliments the story as well. This film is a must see for indie film fans. It's a film you'll want to share with friends who've struggled in similar situations. Looking forward to more of Lapica's work!
