Customer Reviews
Excellent -- intelligent and moving
I have never heard of the director or the lead actress Lauren Fortuna before, but wow what a cool small film! This is what more movies should be like -- about real people and real problems. I felt for Alison when she left her husband. In fact, the characters are all great and believable, even the 'bad guy' husband. Very well, done, tough to watch at times (the movie demands close attention) but well worth it. The ending is particularly emotional. Top notch.
