Martha Plimpton's performance in this film was magnetic. The out-of-order time sequencing technique was intriguing without being confusing, although it teased me into wanting to see the movie again almost immediately. A shocking and bittersweet film, it really captures the interminable dailiness and ennui of small-town Oklahoma and is somewhat reminiscent of The Last Picture Show in this regard. This film raises the bar for all film-making and could be the poster child for independent film-making, especially. Hal Holbrook, Mary Kay Place and Nick Stahl registered uncontrived performances that rang true and clear. This is a provocative, unforgettable, disturbing film.
