Audience Member Heartwrenching and charming, characters I legitimately care about, great story, great acting... Underrated and full forced. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Samantha Mathis (Pump Up The Volume, American Psycho) does a great job playing a drug addicted stripper and a young Joseph Gordon-Levitt shows his early prowess as an actor in this sad, emotional, drama that plays out like a late-night cable TV drama. Director Joe Gayton (writer of the upcoming Faster w Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) doesnt quite delve into the depth of the characters, nor keep things tense. The film is definitely not for everyone.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was not at all what I was expecting and for the most part it was very moving and heartbreaking. About two misfits in an unkind world who find and end up saving each other. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is truly wonderful in this film. The end had be sobbing for 10 minutes straight.
