Quotes:

[first lines]
William Vincent:[from letter] Dear Ann, I've come back to New York. Some years ago you asked me about myself. What are you doing, you asked. I didn't answer then, but I want to now. When you've read this letter, if you want to come away with me, if you want me to take you from here, call Victor. You can trust him. He'll find me.

Emotions Set The Stage

I give this a solid 7 out of 10 due to the fact that it was, in my eyes, a very original film full of emotion and body-language.

A must see art film.

James Franco shines in this subtle film that puts you through different moral standing that will make you ask, "why would he do that?", just as the characters in the story are asking Franco's character. Shot with a "real-world" aspect this plot lays in front of you waiting to be uncovered just as the end will lay in your thoughts.

If you have ever felt out of place or different in this crazy world take a look through this genuine character's eyes.
