Loved this film and all the actors' performances. Josh Lucas has always been a favorite and his understated deliverance really brings it home.
He seemingly lost his family and buys a broken down boat mirroring his broken spirit. Oddly enough the name of the boat is Herperus which means the spirit of night giving way to the light of the dawn. Though we see him go through anguish and drinking himself into oblivion he does it so we don't feel sorry for him but observe his journey seeing where it will end.
In the end he finishes fixing up the boat and befriending the two locals who stay at the marina where his boat is and does not even take it for a spin but sells it.
Something magical about this film without being overdone or drawn out into boredom.
