I saw this film at Sundance, and really enjoyed it. Strong script and very strong performances - particulary from Mary Louise Parker and Michael Silverman. I was really excited to read that Prince Paul from De La Soul had scored the film, and thought he and his partner Don Newkirk did a great job to produce a retro hip hop sound. Apparently they used a new camera to shoot the film, and it has produced a very high end, interesting look. I'd like to see more from this director. He's taken a very different direction from his last film "Haiku Tunnel", which played at Sundance a few years ago.
