    This flim was a completely unexpected measterpiece, which I recommend without second thoughts. With a flawless storyline and the truly explosive and unbelievable performances of Henry Thomas and Robin Tunney, it's a film that teaches so many different things. It follows the story...( read more) of two seemingly different people, two god-and-people-forsaken shady characters that found happiness in their misery. Bob Grosse's "Niagara, Niagara" is, without a doubt, a true masterpiece.

    Great performances by Tunney, Thomas and Parks but the story is standard stuff. Worth seeing though. Tunney's protrayel of Tourette's Syndrome is the most realistic one I've ever seen.

    The acting between Robin Tunney and Henry Thomas is excellent, but it's not enough to redeem what is yet another young-outlaw-lovers-on-the-run film.

    I cannot find this movie anywhere. I'm just glad I taped it from Sundance, but the transfer is pathetic.
