Well meaning but very slow and it is a depressing film. Good acting by Minnie Driver. Another plus is that it isn't predictable, but by the time the film gets going it's too late. It takes way too long to become interesting.

I hate to be a hater, but this move made me feel like I got "Taken" for $10. It was really painful to watch, and not in a good way. Absolutely awful, amateur hour indie. Don't waste your money now, or on DVD (which is sure to happen soon)
