Nothing New, but Takes A New Path Getting There

The scene stealer of this film are the scenes themselves. The cinematography is so lovely, without hindering the movie in anyway. The actors aren't bad either. The story revolves around two college roommates who haven't seen each other in years and how they ended up where they are. One has everything, and one has had everything important taken from him. One of the films great attributes is how it takes you down a path where you think you know your going, but doesn't quite go there after all. It's pretty intricate in its emotional content, and is a thinking persons' movie. It frequently skips scenes other movies would have walked you through. If the scene didn't have interesting emotional content, it wasn't there. It doesn't always keep an even keel, but then neither does life. I felt a few characters were too shallow, and the mix of absurd and sad doesn't always mix well, but overall a nice melancholy movie.

7/10
