i be pleased to find this gem of a film and appreciate it subtle and quirky and watchable ( no pun intend ) take on ocd and how the choice we make affect our life . it remind me of hal hartley film most notably trust tho these character and at least emily and be not quite so dysfunctional and there seem to be a slightly more positive vibe ( or rather less bleak outlook ) to this film than hartley . or maybe they seem similar cuz of the synth music while ) which be perhaps my only major criticism of this film which have good acting and camera work and edit . be an indie film shouldn not preclude you from have cohesive musical theme for character or situation across the movie tho . some of the music felt out of place . but that my own personal pet peeve . overall the movie certainly strike a chord for me at the parallel between emily and nick and their kind of steal and internal drive . and despite want a romantic end for them the way thing turn out felt right a their motivation and ultimately their integrity be wholly incompatible and nick deserve his fate . the parallel of nick be a criminal like her father left have me wonder about the real truth about her father life and her happy memory of him a it be obvious the ocd come from her mother side . there be a few loose end to this script a the austin reviewer say but they weren not enough to sway me away from like it . i also like michael nouri small role a the amusing and warm psychiatrist a nice casting touch . i say watch out for thomas trail he up for a promising career . i will certainly look out for more of his film .
