I had no idea what this movie was about before I watched it, but it was recommended to me by a friend and then I started seeing it everywhere, so I figured I should give it a watch already. I was a little apprehensive about the two-hour running time (I don't mind long movies in general, but sometimes they just drag on and go WAY too slowly, especially indie dramas I have found that could have been edited down some). So I wasn't really expecting to watch the whole thing and figured I might get bored and turn it off after fifteen minutes or so. But fifteen minutes came and went and I completely forgot about that notion. I was enthralled. The characters fascinate and the actors do a great job. You'll recognize Mark Boone Junior from his many appearances in TV and film, but I was surprised to find that many of the other actors were first-timers. They just did such a great job that I felt like surely they had tons of experience. And the story is great too. I won't give too much of it away, but it's about a lonely guy who concocts a strange and elaborate plan to help two young people to fall in love. It's really unique and beautiful. I'm serious, this is such a great film and everyone should see it. The filmmakers have made it available to all for free, so you have no excuse.
