I was expecting the usual indie film, lacking in execution and with a sloppy and forgettable story. I was instead very surprised, as it has many inventive ideas and the script is well written. It is splitted in 7 parts and each chapter is like a long uninterrupted shot, with very few cuts in the middle. This make the story flow very nicely.
The friendship between Mike and Kyle will be tested a lot, but they always manage to reconcile, no matter what. The title of this movie is just perfect. For the whole time I had the feeling that this relation is a really difficult climb on a hill that will never end, and eventually finish where the two friends will just give up on each other. In the end things will be fixed, and finally we see the descent. This small indie project does not have a big budget, nor important names casting on it, however it delivers a nice story and a thoughtful narrative. There are here and there some sequences that are just a little bit too long and boring, but it is just one hour and a half long, so honestly not a big deal and I wouldn't cut anything out.
Among all these independent films, this is surprisingly good: characters are deepen, and you can easily bound with the two protagonists, it has a some good funny moments and overall is a simple and enjoyable movie. I personally recommend it, especially if you are searching for a light-hearted watch.
