Warning: Spoilers
The Good: I can see why these actors did this film. it's different and funny and real. everyone did a great job. i loved how owen's character was blatantly (brutally/uneditedly) honest. and there were some genuinely funny lines that were very well delivered. it was intelligently written, well directed and moved at a nice pace. and that scene when they're having sex and he gets into this frenetic rhythm and she's 'bout to take off when it becomes obvious to her that he's actually having a seizure. omg.

The Bad: points off for a rushed dump-and-run ending that completely bails on the viewer. i should take off more but i appreciate the novelty of the film. but really wtf was that ending. a twisted family history is the engine of this film yet we learn surprisingly little about it. and i don't care if characters die heck i don't care if everyone dies but geez offer some insight, some answers, some explanations. something more than 'welp time's up we out see ya'. 5.75/10
