Carlie Nettles

Don't miss this one. Well written, efficiently shot and well directed. I'm trying to think of something I would have changed... nothing.

So congratulations to the Sheltons, but the reason you absolutely should see this movie isn't their smooth and wholly inoffensive style. Its their casting.

The reason you absolutely should see it is Miss Carlie Nettles; the amazingly talented young actress who starred in this and one other of the Shelton's short films. Her performance is smart, prickly and wrenching. She's painfully honest and most importantly, she doesn't hide in any of the tidy places the movies usually shove young actors. You don't like her, you love her. Watch her.
