finally saw it, so that makes this post even more apt. it was a very tight film and very well done. it's always a treat when everything from the script, to the direction and performances are just working harmoniously. this one was a real heartbreaker though. i attribute that mostly to the performances because they were so nuanced, even the ones that could have a very easily gone the way of scene-chewing, angsty histrionics. the whole atmosphere of it made me feel like an intruder in these people's lives. i loved it despite the fact that it was very depressing.
