Amazing film

I had the honor of seeing this film at the first annual Lone Star International Film Festival. I really can't remember the last time I was so drawn into a film. I never checked the time or anything I typically do in a movie. It was really a brilliant piece of art.

There were many themes throughout the film. The one that really stuck out to me was mental illness. At least 5 characters in the film portray symptoms of various mental disorders. When I asked Stephen Berra about it after the showing, he said that he had never seen it from that light, that it was not intentional, and that he thinks all of us show symptoms of mental disorders. While I understood that, I definitely think that that theme was integral to the story.

The only thing is...there are no memorable quotes on here! There were so many good ones...someone please get on that.

Also, I really hope this makes it out into the general audiences. This is a great film that I would see again and again.
