2 stars (Good Try) It has an anti-drug taking theme which is good but the screenplay and its melodramatics have all been done before. ~Tubbs
5 stars (Exceptional) Beautiful film. I read David's book last year and felt the movie captures a lot of the feel of the book. The cinematography and sound design really stood out for me. And I loved the house and front yard. ~Catapillar
