Ratings and reviews

Good acting, bland story/pacing. Could not get interested in what was going to happen because the film lacked build-up... not much separation in plot points... lots of characters that simply show up and disappear...

This movie not only has two stellar performances but is also evocative, portrays today's USA critically without being overtly political and also represents the beauty of the Pacific northwest in minute and gorgeous detail. Loved this film!

This Movie is a Brilliant Work of Art. Anyone who says otherwise has no Eye at all because this Film is A Masterpiece through and through. It made me smile, and made me cry, as well as smile and cry at the same time. Its ending was bittersweet and perfect IMO. This is one to own and keep for the Personal Collection. If youre thinking about getting this movie, STOP! Just go ahead and get it. Its worth the purchase to support the making of films like this. ~Doc~ [10/01/18]
