while super critical cineasts might find fault with this debut offering of eric mendelsohn and i be delighted and move by it . a poetic tone and a profound humanism and graceful and splendid perfomances by sadly neglect actor and an innovativeness that a more splashy and slick film like american beauty lack . suburbia and it inhabitant ache for real communion and mostly unable to give or receive it . how well this movie express it . bravo and may there soon be more from mendelsohn and his like .
