Saw this movie on 3/16/06 at SxSW film festival.
Clichéd and unoriginal narrative punctuated with a few decent performances. I recognized Michael Emerson from various guest bits on network TV shows, namely "Lost." Interesting that he'd slum it in this smaller production, but he did a good job. All in all, performances aside, it's well worn material that's overdrawn and melodramatic. With the goal of most independent films being eventual distribution, I have a hard time picturing exactly what kind of crowd/distributor this would appeal to. Lifetime Network? WE? I dunno. Shot in Austin with what I presume was a lot of Austin talent, no surprise that this film premiered at a film festival based in Austin, TX.
