Jackson S 03/26/2024 Chambers acting is amazing. Must see. See more Ken R 03/01/2022 After reading about this oddity, looked forward to it being a thoughtful character study with heart and a message – a message it has but perhaps little heart. It's a low budget indie production that features a surprisingly stylized look. This comes via the talents of short and TV director of photography Eben Bolter's professional work ethic. He, along with some committed work by first-time director Joe Stephenson, give it a better than average look. Performances are mostly borderline with Morgan Watkins perhaps faring best as the brutish, utterly despicable older ‘brother'. He's given some OK backup from Scott Chambers in the difficult role of Richard the younger ‘brother'. It's difficult to call this entertainment and fits better into the modern social expose' of all that's despicable about heavily failed family relationships - and the grotty characters who prey on the vulnerable. Lovely country locations are about the only pleasing aspects on display here with maybe a little help from a cute chicken. Tom Linden supplies a thoughtful music score - adding what little warmth can be taken from a heavy study of all that's wrong within an immoral society. Interesting but grueling and depressing with limited sustaining relief, that might perhaps leave some wondering if the makers may have been enjoying the negativity a little too much (?)

See more 12/26/2018 A promising debut this, it doesn't all work (and when Paige arrives on screen she really acts the two male leads off of it) but when it does, it's moving and certainly makes you want to see more of what Stephenson the Director has to offer. A slight film, but a little gem. See more 11/09/2018 Seemed a bit slow to start but transpired into a disturbing and interesting film about extremes of family ties See more 07/15/2018 Amazing acting and a heartbreaking yet hopeful story of loss, poverty, disability and compassion. Really difficult to describe but well worth the time to experience. See more Read all reviews
