I found this move via the sound track. It's real, it's messed up, it's Sean Penn. You have to be in the mood to escape the functional world. Like after a bad stupid week at work or a stupid week of life in general. I can't say I enjoyed it, but I can say that I appreciated the perspective, the story, and even the reality that people are generally pretty F'd up. The acting was fine IMO, suited to the roles. Unique and different. I'm cool with that.
