Messy and uncoordinated
26 March 2003 | by – See all my reviews

There are some moving scenes, and the characters seem to have some life in them, but overall this Boy-Meets-Job movie loses its way too often.

Plot details that seem important are never mentioned again. Relationships are neither clarified nor advanced. People seem to be struggling, but it's unclear what they're struggling against. It's an interesting mess, but a mess all the same.
