Nick was apparently busted twice in Portland, the second time being remanded to juvenile detention. But we see him leaving detention in Seattle, not Portland.

thoroughly enjoyed it

loved the film.

moving and interesting, and what it lacked in narrative it made up for with wonderful performance by snellman. not perfect, but a great thinking piece that i still ponder on. i agree with the previous comment, that it makes me think about the artist behind graffiti.

it was very reminicant of gus van sant's work in elephant, and i'd love to get my hands on the DVD to see the deleted scenes featuring snellman's sister. interesting to see what would happen introducing a third element.

see it.
