Continuity: When Jason is packing his clothes in the hotel before leaving New Orleans, he is speaking to Alana, and the same shot is shown twice of him picking up a pile of clothes that includes a red, gray and white striped shirt. He picks the pile up, puts it in his bag, another angle is shown and then he is shown picking up the exact same pile from the same spot and putting it in his bag again.

Quotes:

Hannah:I feel dead inside.
Hannah:No something worse than death.
Hannah:I am still a child, a child trying to find a place on this world.
Hannah:I have so many unanswered questions, questions I feel but can't even begin to speak because there are no words to express them.
Hannah:Something is missing.
Hannah:Why do I feel unwanted?
Hannah:Why do I feel I have no right to exist?
Hannah:Why do I spend more time wanting to end my life than live it?

A must see, like nothing you've ever seen before.

INCREDIBLE. ARTISTICALLY EXCELLENT. NON-JUDGMENTAL. POWERFUL. INSPIRING. TIMELY. NECESSARY.

Saw the screening last night and it surpassed all expectations!!! From the minute it begins it draws you in and doesn't let go. When you think you have it all figured out, it goes in a direction you never expected. The acting leaves you wondering if you are watching a movie or real life. The theme of this film could have gone in so many other directions and been a disaster. But OctoberBaby is truly excellent. Plan on seeing it when it opens in theaters on March 23. You will see one of the rare films that is well worth the $$!!
