    One of the best indie films I have seen

    I would really like to know what the budget was for this film. It took a few minutes to become hooked mainly because the story has a slow progression but once I was hooked I couldn't stop watching. The acting was fantastic, the production value was on point, the directing was clearly performed by a talented person and the story itself was very engaging and emotionally immersive. I heavily felt the emotions that were being presented from the characters and felt inspired to be more greatful for what I have. I personally cannot believe how this film does not have a higher rating. This film needs more exposure to get the prais that it deserves. I would love to see more films from this director.
