Review: So this film was lent to me by my good friend who always has the best movies. In all honesty, the storyline is wonderful. The only problem is that it drags. It's a short film but for some reason it just went on and on. The scenery was deary and the colours were nearly black and white. The acting is great, Tom Waits is just too much in this film. There was just something about it, perhaps the soundtrack or the bleakness that turned me off. The ending is so heartwarming though, it was worth watching the whole film for the final five minutes. I don't know, it's really up to the viewer on this one.
Overall Letter Grade: C-
Buy, Rent or Skip?: Skip.
