I was expecting the typical Lifetime flick when I came across this film. Boy was I wrong and quite pleasantly surprised. I actually enjoyed this film more than some of the higher budget, A list star cast films I've seen within the last few months.
It's obvious to me that a great deal of care went into this movie. The screenplay was well done, it was not at all predicable, the movie was well cast, the acting was solid and believable, particularly from the three leading actors, Ted Levine, Maggie Elizabeth Jones, and Tom Hildreth. Even the soundtrack was well chosen, not cheesy or distracting, just an appropriate accompaniment to the drama. The messages of the film are profound, yet subtle and gives you plenty to contemplate long after the movie is over.
It's encouraging to be reminded that quality movies don't have to rely on enormous budgets and a big star line up to be successful.
Well done.
