User Reviews

Excellent Cinematography; Excellent Acting

Based on a Raymond Carver short story, this story is an exploration of love and death while a patient (always unseen) is in a coma. This short should be in a master class in cinematography, and Radha Mitchell was awesome. I saw on the website that it has won many awards, and I still felt disappointed, because deserves many more and better awards than it has.
