(Note: Brief plot description ahead that could be seen as a spoiler)
Shot on DV by student filmmakers, this harrowing, heartbreaking story of a socially isolated young schoolteacher's gradual breakdown has an amazing, complex central performance, as well as strong supporting work, and intelligent writing.
A major case of substance triumphing over form, lack of money, and lack of experience. Far more thought provoking and incisive than about 99% of what is being made currently. A film that takes you into the heart of loneliness and isolation. Not easy or fun to watch, but very rewarding
