a well-deserved winner
17 August 2000 | by sebastian_valmont – See all my reviews

I saw this awesome film and Sundance where it deservedly won the grand prize. To describe it as raw would be to belittle it, the skilled filmmaking is so perceptive, and the performances so natural, it's breathtaking.
