I really liked this film. In a time when you "takes your chances" with Independent movies that are offered on the various Streaming Services. I was pleasantly surprised by the overall quality of this film. The acting is good, and the production values for a film that I assume had a somewhat limited budget, aren't bad at all. The plot and the ultimate "reveal" are also good. I really appreciate, and thank the production company. For making the main character a "single Male" parent! There are a lot of those out there, and they are rarely represented in current films and TV series. I know it's a lot easier to make the main character a woman, because people seem to be more sympathetic to that character gender. But I think that it is a sign of lazy writing, and pandering, when women are always the victim. Currently, the entertainment industry seems to feel that the only important characters in productions should be female characters as "super heroes" or as "victims". Which is typical of an industry with limited imagination and quality writers. P. S. It's not important, but I think Hannah Ward was totally miss casted as a college aged young woman. Further, my question as to whatever happened to Tatum O'neal was answered by seeing her in this film.
