      Lou Farnt: It did feel pretty empowering, you know?

      Val Stone: Yeah. You did pretty good for your first time.

      Lou Farnt: Did I? You're the best life coach ever, Val.

      Val Stone: I think you might be the best client, Lou.

    A balanced view (I hope)
    I'll be honest, I didn't enjoy the film's storyline all that much, but I thought the scenery and film crafting was excellent - well shot and edited.

    Although a few reviewers have said they think the topic is very fresh and on point, I must say I found it a bit old hat, particularly as it concludes.

    The character development is unsophisticated in my opinion, however that can be forgiven as the film is extremely concise and I think the better for it.

    If you enjoy an indie film then go for it.
