Continuity: When The Kid carries Julia and the bag across the street near the end of the movie, he is no longer limping - he walks normally. In the previous scene, Julia was walking and he was holding her hand; he was limping along, dragging the bag along the ground one step at a time. The next time we see him walking, he is limping again. moreFAQ

I suspect that the other three glowing reviews listed for this particular example of what not to do to make a movie are friends, or relations, of the producer/director/scriptwriter.
For one thing, this movie has TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE, AWFUL pacing. To be honest, had anyone other than the author had a chance to take the scissors to this, it would have been vastly improved. There is nothing arty about boring the hell out of your audience. Twenty minutes could have easily been left on the cutting room floor.
Secondly, you need to pay to hire an honest-to-god director of photography. It will most certainly increase the budget required to make the film, but it will make for a vast improvement. The subway scenes, in particular, could have had, well, anything done to them; raw footage, spliced together with the briefest of transitions, is sloppy, and not to be confused with a finished product.
It was a noble effort, but somebody's ego really needs to be checked at the door.
