    A beautiful love story that goes horribly wrong. I hate movies that have this bittersweet ending. It is very depressing by the end. I really hate the girl's mother - because everyone's life is changed by her forcing her daughter's hand to do something desperate to escape.

    I rented this because it stars Vincent Kartheiser from 'Mad Men'. What a piece of shit!

Think 'Garden State' mixed with a David Gordon Green flick. Speaking of DGG, the only redeeming quality of this film is the beautiful cinematography by the great Tim Orr. Other than that, it's trying way too hard. Everything, I mean, Everything is forced.
