This is what we call a major league indy plot with loosely connected characters...intertwine is the phrase they like to use to make it sound artsy. There is a missing young girl. Beckworth (Greg Germann) the neighbor is a person of interest. Frankie (Julie Benz) is the investigating officer. Her friend Kate (Elizabeth Mitchell) is the sweetest thing this side of candy, and she is married to a psychologist Ryan (Dane Cook) who lies and cheats. One of his patients is TV writer Allegra (Kali Hawk) who is African-American and hates blacks. There is also a woman who cares for her brother. He is in a vegetative state. She wants to push his wheelchair in a marathon. There is also a rock band, the woman Ryan is cheating with, a rookie cop, and a teacher so obsessed with the missing girl, that it screws up his on-line video role playing game.The film builds up multiple characters in a mostly boring fashion. It isn't until the climatic ending that you begin to feel you have just seen a decent film. This film reminded me in many ways of another indie, "Garden Party." If you don't like one story or character, wait it will change. The acting was exceptionally good, however a story being all over the place is not everyone's cup of tea. If you are not an indie fan, you may not enjoy this feature.F-bomb, sex, nudity.

This movie surprised me. There were some really great performances from people I didn't expect, namely Dane Cook. He seems to be a very divisive person in pop culture and I found his performance emotional and honest. It was a sort of a slow story that was all building to the twists at the end. It felt like Crash or other movies where all of these random stories collide in dramatic ways. Some parts I sort of got bored with the pacing of the story. But there were also some really nice moments. Like when the amazing Elizabeth Mitchell buys baby clothes and stuffed animals and can't tell the check out lady she doesn't have a child. And then she has the box in her trunk full of baby clothes. That was beautiful acted and very emotional. I also thought all of the scenes with the paralyzed brother and the recovering alcoholic sister. It just felt real and raw and I like it. Good movie if you want something a bit on the dark side.

this is an excellent movie, with meaningful internal cohesion. it is worth a first, and second, viewing. it frightens me that the IMDb rating is so low. as you watch the movie look for the theme of "a thousand lies and kindness are worth more than the truth." The movie moves easily between the lives of the characters that are randomly interconnected. It is crisply edited, and the sound track is original and well-connected to the drama. What is truth, what is kindness? Is it OK for something to be neither true nor kind? And who did what to the child. this movie is fully satisfying and entirely watchable. I am going on in part just to fill up ten lines, which is required for this review. However as I think back on the movie, I actually think about Henry IV, Part One, where few lines or events do not relate back to a central theme. And that is just one reason why this movie deserves a high recommendation. In addition to the thematic cohesion, the acting is without defect. Once again, we loved this movie and told our friends to watch it, (with a warning that we thought the opening scene sucked.)

This is kind of an answer to another review... I voted 10, to increase the score of the movie, although I think is a clear 8.If you think movies about real people, real problems and damaged people are not your thing, please don't watch this movie.This movie is amazing in characterizing several kinds of people, is so replete of so many different styles and personalities. All of them has a different role and all of them is extremely important.I would not like to say much, because I will spoil the movie, but maybe the reason the movie is so hateful, is because people see them in some of the character and hate themselves...Just pay attention to the details and you will have the answer to EVERYTHING.
