Audience Member Men Often Need To "Do Something" In Dealing With Grief. An Individuals Grief Will Also Agitate Those Sores / Healing Wounds In Other Peoples Lives..It Is Explored Quite Deeply Here, Leaving You Thinking Long After It Finshes.. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Too depressing. Starts to feel like u r swimming against the current just to get to the end. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member More like Against Logic. It has some nicely drawn characters and features lovely New York scenery but the message it sends is pitiful: Faced a large challenge in your life? If you can come to terms with it, don't seek professional help, kill yourself! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Great story about commitment!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member I enjoyed this movie, in spite of the dark undertones. It explores difficult issues in a new and beautiful way. This movie has purpose and relevance and is really worth watching if you like dark, independent, cerebral movies. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Good acting but terribly depressing. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
