      Audience Member weird, slow, not sure really where it was going...yet I had to see it since Micheal C. Hall was in it, just wish he had a bigger part Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member I thought I was having a hard time, but she got really weird... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member I thought I was having a hard time, but she got really weird... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is a strange one. The girl in this seems troubled and lost. It wasn't exactly boring but it wasn't exactly sheer entertainment either. Michael C. Hall has a small part in this movie, which deserved more! Watch this if you want to see his three minute role, but if you want to watch this to give yourself something to do, then watch this! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Famliar faces in Mason, Herrmann, Daly, Hall. I enjoyed it though it wasn't much about anything other than a tragedy in Vinessa Shaw's life and how she is dealing with it. I don't remember seeing her before in any movies but I thought she handled the main part quite well. Reserved, impulsive, real. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is downright hard to watch and follow mainly due to pace. It's quite nihilistic in feel, and one finds it hard to care about any of the characters. It's like trying to say you like a Spike Lee film while keeping a straight face.

      Erik Childress eFilmCritic.com Its conclusion is unsatisfying and probably undeserving for at least one of the characters leaving us wondering why we were grieving at all and was it worth it? Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 22, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews
