. perhaps in a first year film school nightmare . i be not really sure where to start with this one . perhaps i should talk about why i think this 90 min plus miracle of canadian cinema could have easily be condense to a 10 min ( that even push it ) mediocre short film . or and perhaps i should talk about the the character of emerson and my fascination a to why people think this kid give a great performance . yes and that will do . this be a tv movie and a less episode of degrassi junior high ( sorry degrassi for make this comparison and i still love you ) and an after school special . this be not fresh and this be not original and and this in no way give me confidence in my defending canadian cinema argument i sometimes bring out when there an awkward silence at party . all i can say be do not see it and do not waste your time and and strive to expect more from u canadian filmmaker . we need less praise for our mediocre achievement ( sarah polly anyone . ) and more accountability for our government fund mistake . enough say . p . daniel macivor and you do your best and play your role with heart and for this i thank you . but then again you also write it and so i be still upset .
