    A moderately good film that could have been a great film if the director had trusted the actors more. Some of the best performances are hindered by a score that follows the viewer around and keeps trying to talk over the performances. Of course, if the movie also could decide what it was trying to achieve, maybe the ending would've been less threadbare.

    I'm not sure what I expected with this director's debut from Duvall. I saw a clip of him talking about it and became instantly intrigued. Once again, Duvall hits the nail on the head with his sincerity and treatment of the people and the story in the film. Part slice of life, part ethno, part fantastical, it's certainly a unique and enjoyable film with a very large personality in a small body front and center.

    "There's more nutrition in a good film than in a box of wheaties" etc etc it's a miracle any show is ever made.
