The only enjoyable thing about seeing this movie is to watch Michael Angarano's performance. Clearly he is a talented actor with a bright future. Other than that we, in the theater, jointly agreed... "what was the point and why do these movies get made". As the viewer we are tossed into this dismal, depressing world of rural PA. and left there to wonder... why don't these people seek some therapy & get some help... maybe try to move up the food chain. Why, I wondered, were these people stalled in this life, how did they get there, why aren't they leaving? And then all I could wonder was why should I care? No one in this movie shows any compassion why should the audience? The direction is limited, the story convoluted, and the Art Direction clearly without budget (They couldn't even afford to change the light switches). Not to mention the snow... non melting fake snow... gross. I hope Sam Rockwell spends some time choosing his next project as well as Griffin Dunne (what is he doing here). These guys are great actors stuck in a boring story. A story/life most people are trying to escape, and by escape I don't mean murder suicide. lastly I wish when people are determined to kill themselves in a murder suicide that they take care of the suicide part first. See something else. R
