Title: Trying to hard to be "indy"
Review: As another reviewer below said, I gave up on the film in the EXACT same spot she did....when Ricci's character is walking through the campus and gets disgusted by the garbage, rats and a dead bird.There is a point where some indy films decide that quirky scenes make up for a lack of plot or character devolopment. Many, MANY things in this film felt rushed, the plotting bordered on schizophrenic (the filmmakers seemed to have a clear vision of "point A" and "point B", but no clue how to drive the "car" between the two points) and even though you can tell Ricci's character is trying to redeem herself, you have NO clue WHY she is doing so. A few minutes spent with her "special" charge is supposed to make her entire life turn around? I just don't get it, and after 45 minutes I didn't want to anymore. (and isn't it interesting two people both gave up at the exact same time?)Save your money, and your time.
Is the review positive or negative?
