I could not get enough of this movie!!

I'm really surprised at the bad reviews and that I've never heard of this movie. I loved how real the characters were... I don't know, it's like you could feel the ache it felt to be alive. They were all so real in their own quirky ways.

And I could not get enough of of Josh Pais and his flat affect self. He was so tortured it was enduring somehow. So real and so raw. All the characters beautifully portrayed. I loved this movie... I never really leave reviews. But I felt I had to counter some of these bad reviews. If you're on the fence regarding watching this - watch it - you won't be sorry.
