Quotes

David Lamb: Don't ever forget this hurt. Don't ever forget the things that we've seen together, cause it'll save you. You will be an apple tree among all the ash-colored buildings of this city. You just need to close your eyes and take a deep breath and listen. Listen to the rain and the wind. All that rushing through you. That'll be me whispering to you. I'll be with you this way.

User Reviews

Made me sick, I stuck with it..

When you have a gut feeling when watching a movie it disturbs you because of it's naturalness to be a pedophile.. It made me want to throw up and say what the hell were these people thinking when making this movie. Even if it was a woman If she acted so creepy and mentally ill I would have felt the same way. I just can't help, but feel terrible for the actors involved in this movie. Destroy this film, remove it from existence. I'm a 24 year old male and that was sick to think of one being in his shoes I tried to see it in a uplifting way, but how can you when he is 100% creeper material. If you cannot stand the first 20mins turn it off immediately. nothing but red flags everywhere..
