This film premiered at Sundance and won the grand jury prize. Really good film and well acted. It's still making the film festival rounds but will probably be released later this year.

Any FT opinions on the film? I decided to read the screenplay, but about halfway through (p.63 out of 108), it seemed too depressing to continue. Thoughts?

We showed it for a while at my place and it looked dreadfully boring. It looks to be shot on Hi8 video and all of the people in it are dreadfully ugly... so much so that you want to take your eyes off of the screen. The dreadful video quality doesn't help things, either. I really hope this doesn't win anything because I don't want to get this movie back!
