An action-packed slog

I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

I just saw this remarkable, quirky little film on the IFC.I can understand how many gave it only one star. some people need lots of crude humor, or car crashes and buildings blowing up. What can you do?This film is VERY understated. However, it's not boring. None of that Merchant Ivory, "molasses in winter" kind of pacing. If you give it a chance, it sucks you in and takes you on a wonderful little ride inside the protagonist's head.Most indie film make me run for cover, but this is an exception, and an exceptional film, IMO.I can't recommend it highly enough.

I viewed this film at the Hamptons Film Festival. I found it to be enjoyable and quite interesting. The ending is not predictable and is quite thought provoking.It is the tale of a writer who seems to have a block in completing his second novel and in the mean time goes through a journey of self awareness.I found Fisher Stevens, Sam Manning, to have finally found a character thought allowed him to stretch his skills. He is definitely an underused actor.
