What makes it different from others?

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

This movie will make your brain hurt and your wiener sick. It has maybe a couple parts you can laugh at like a fat headed thyroid dysfunction guy whose face will make you cry, a close up of a guy getting hit in the face that's sweet, and a wiffle ball bat sound every time a snow boarder goes off a jump. The guy who did the sound track for Mario Brother 2 probably did this. Good Will Sweaters heck I don't know. Whatever. Did I mention horse crap deluxe with chives by chance? My wiener is sick. Did you ever used to play bad dudes on Nintendo? That was great this movie is trash. Philip Roth should be arrested. They specially thank West Yockey! What the crap is West Yockey?
