The main reason I decided to check this movie out was because it has Rainn Wilson in it. I liked his performances in a lot of the movies he is in, even the ones that aren't so good. This time around he takes on a way more serious role in a serious and psychological movie. This is a film that delves into the inner demons of a boy and the environment he is brought up in. This is however a slow-burn of a movie, with it not appearing to have a direction most of the way through. So yeah, the build up can bore the hell out of audiences that doesn't have the patience and focus for a film such as this. It's a low budget indie film that is more focused on the build up than having a actual sense of direction. Which would be fine if it was somewhat engaging. It does get engaging when the frustration of the boy and his feeling of being alone and caged in start to really kick in. But it takes a very very long time to get to that point. The rest just seems quite pointless, despite the boring raw dialogues. I did however liked how it blends in the interpretation of being bad and being misunderstood. Because you as the audience will try to grasp as to what really going on in the mind of the boy in this film. For a very slow burn movie such as this, 2 hours may take a toll on your patience but I personally thought it was a alright watch. I just wouldn't ever see it again.
