Really enjoyable

Watched this at the Stockholm Film Festival and loved it. The two leads were really strong. Loved Joseph McKelheer as Charlie and was wonderfully disturbed by Cory Knauf's performance. I was impressed by how emotive it was, I found myself wanting to hug Charlie, punch Luke, but then maybe hug Luke too?? If you like to be challenged, even after the credits have rolled, then this movie is for you. And I'm jealous of anyone who lives in Alaska because it looks beautiful in the movie.
Any insiders out there know when it gets general release?

The latest news is it's being released in New York on April 2, and in LA on April 9. Not totally sure of that second date. There's a Godspeed Facebook page that gets updated pretty regularly here: http://www.facebook.com/inbox/?folder=[fb]messages&page=1&tid=268134010880#/pages/GODSPEED/93223519352?ref=ts

I truly enjoyed it to, but was left hanging by...

SPOILER

The sheriff's borrowed truck. Now she could get away with burying her brother, Charlie (I assume), and the kid who always looked like he was gonna crap his pants; but the local law is going to come looking for their truck. I mean unless she's does what her bother was going to, put him in the truck and somehow sink it it into he river; she's going to have some explaining to do. Or... maybe she'll never go back home? Start her walk and just end up somewhere... maybe, son;t know and it bugs me!

END SPOILER

Over all a good film. I was rooting for Charlie and Sarah!

I was surprised by it too, was pretty decent. Kind of surprised by the low rating but I guess it is too slow paced for the average movie goer.
