i catch this film this past week at a film festival and and be very happy i do . the film be both well direct and and well act . it not edge of your seat entertainment and nor do i imagine it be intend to be . but what it be and be a very effective and believable and absorb character study that both technically superb and believable in it execution . though he might not look like a conventionally leading man and gabriel marantz more than carry the film . he portrayal of the lead character be both believable and and rife with pathos . solid film and i highly recommend it .
