Saw the Film at the Austin Premiere


It's a great movie. Don't expect an action film; it's a theatrical production made for the screen. Amazing what can be done with a bench, a chair, and some lighting. Ben McKenzie is excellent and gives a brutally honest performance.

I agreee,this film is everything a good film should be,thoughtprovoking moving and still able at times to bring a smile to your face.

Thanks for the review. I hope the film eventually gets a wider release and I have the chance to see it in theater.

This is a remarkable film. The trailer does not do it any justice in my humble opinion. Ben really drew me into the story and kept my interest for the whole 77 minutes despite being on film alone with just a bench and a chair. The lighting and music were perfect and the editing was excellent. The small production team had really put their heart and soul into this and Ben gave a stunning performance. Do go to see it if you can.
