First the good news, the roles are well cast and the acting is just right. The dialogue is realistic too. And the story is important. Now the bad news, this is a horribly directed and executed film. Horrible. Intentionally jittery camera work almost renders parts of the film unwatchable. The shaky camera is nauseating. And the shots? Too clever by a half. Full head scenes abound. Framing doesn't seem to be a familiar concept to the director. And the lighting? Way too dark. At times the screen looks black. I gave this movie a 5 and perhaps that's too high. But the acting is so good that I had to acknowledge what the cast overcame in this mess of film-school project.
