The story is really engaging, which is surprising considering that there's a lot of lamenting the high school/college days. Here, we really do care about the memories these guys are looking back on - they're defined by them. Being able to keep a singular, static two-shot on characters remembering those old glory days while keeping the audience hanging on every word is a good testament to how involved you can become in this story.
Everything about this movie just seems very thoroughly purposed and thought out, from the writing and cinematography to the directing and acting. It's an incredibly intriguing character study, and as a writer/director it was very interesting to watch how both events and emotions played out and the decisions that were made.
8/10, because there's almost always room for improvement somewhere, and because you know.. gotta be stingy with those higher numbers. ;)
