The brilliant point about Sunshine State is the depth of the cast. Great to see people like Richard Edson (Steve) shining in a little but important part. Have liked him since "Stranger Than Paradise" in '84. Spotted a few faces from earlier Sayles movies (mostly Brother from Another Planet and Passion Fish cast) as well. And this time there are some more well known faces - however the overall impression is one of depth and and the portrait of change seems quite real.
