This film is just under hour long. It starts off where Ray's daughter is flying the nest with her boyfriend and he's saying goodbye. It then flashes to having lost her to a drug overdose. (Which actually turns out to be his own delusion). He decides to chase up her old lifestyle. He meets her old girlfriend, he hangs in the club she'd always go to. The ending reveals it was all just his own fantasy and we're suddenly back to the part where she's just left home and he's waving her off. Not much really happens, no action at all, not even use of his favourite c word. I can see why lots of people didn't like this film, you have to be in a calm, patient mood to appreciate this. This film is more emotional art than anything else. We get to be close to Ray and get inside his head. My one criticism is that Ray should've had a haircut so he'll look like his usual sexy dilf self (that's dad i'd like to f).
