the hype had me expecting something better.....
Reviewer: Flo aka Frenchie

I saw this movie yesterday and left disappointed.
I am always excited by the idea of watching a low budget indie drama as usually they leave you feeling raw or moved, like let's say a film like "Dead Man Shoes".
This film didn't reach my high standards and i thought the young actress was given a wooden part, there were no high dramatic points, rather FLAT paced storyline.
Don't expect a love story with high stakes either, unfortunately.
Good but by far NOT memorable.
