I saw this film 4 times. The script, directing, photography and acting, made me feel as if I were there in Humboldt County....at times, I wished I was there!

Painful to watch. Trite, predictable, wooden acting, amateurish filmmaking. My friend and I sat through the whole thing, hoping it would get better. It never did.

I've seen the movie twice. With each viewing I find more nuances to think about and enjoy.

It's sensitive, complex and is one of the best films I've seen in many years.

I really enjoy the ambiguous ending as well, since you're not really sure where the main character is headed. It feels very 70's and at the same time manages to be fresh and unexpected. Also, I was struck by the natural surroundings of the place and the score really supports this quiet beauty. For newcomer filmmakers, it looks like these guys have been doing this for quite a while. If you want something beautiful and paradoxical, go see this film!… Expand
