I'm drawn to limited location,limited character stories, movies that look more like stage plays than movies. This small, quirky movie hit all the right notes and more than a few great surprises. The writing, acting and direction are so good, you are unaware of them. The film gets 9/10 stars because it is dialogue heavy. The actors handled this very well, the script is very strong, wide open, going in many directions, but without a feeling of aimlessness. The conversation moves like a real conversation. At heart, I came to care about these characters right away, I was interested in them, their stories, and if and how they would connect. There is not clever plot, no twist at the end -- just what I enjoy most in movies: spontaneity, a pulse, a story told by people who are really committed to the story. I really loved this film.
