if you have ever be down on your luck or know someone in that capacity you will most assuredly recognize and or identify with one or more of the character in this great film . acting be top notch . it move along a if their be no three act structure . it be like a fly on the wall of a work poor family . perhaps it be a little too real for me at time but i do not allow that to take away from watch this excellent work . real life be a struggle and the world be full of miserable people . happiness and happy ending be very hard to come by . this film do not go the usual formulaic route and i do not know that i have ever watch anything like . i be confident you will feel the same way . it too bad that more american filmmaker do not have the gut to be this original . be you still read . get to the video store and get this . it a one of a kind experience .
