Thoroughly enjoyed this movie
ghamiltonsq27 March 2013
Let me begin by saying that I am in no way affiliated with the production of this movie nor do I know any associated with this movie. Having said this, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was quite frankly astounded that the lead character, played by Jeff Nicholson, was able to carry the bulk of this movie using essentially monologue as he walked the streets and back alleys of Boulder, Colorado, talking to himself (and, of course, to us) expounding on his painfully learned insights into human relationships and the human psyche. The two directors did an excellent job moving the camera as we followed Nicholson on his travels. We were never bored nor did we ever wonder what we might be missing. The other characters, some of them minor, did an excellent job reciting dialogue that, while deep and clever, was nonetheless read as if it were common knowledge. Nicholson's romantic counterpart, played by the strikingly attractive Juniper Purinton, was both endearing and sympathetic despite asking for what all young women want in a man, namely, the impossible - good looks, intelligence, independence, but most important, sensitivity, a willingness to probe the essence of their female partner, and having probed it, announce that they are more fulfilled than before they plunged.

I hope to see more of both Nicholson and Purinton.
