While ideas of God or fate may come up, I latch onto the film's address of the controls we necessarily allow to crop our lives. While we watch the character's emotional journeys, the audience's experience is purely intellectual, which is the main limitation of the film. The relationship element of the movie seems more a vehicle for the story than the center, so I'm glad they kept to their real purpose by not including mushy stuff that would have muddled everything. It's about freedom of the self not being fulfilled by others. One other criticism, personally, is that I find it moves rather slow and the scenes of literally fighting the frame seem a bit gimmicky.

I accidentally bumped into this movie so I gave it a try. What a waste of time!This movie was single-handedly written and directed by a failed writer/director by the name of Jamin Winans.. He's made several films and not one's been a success of any kind.This movie is like following the life of somebody with severe schizoaffective disorder, a.k.a. schizophrenia with depression.The movie was depressive and overly sentimental and dramatic.The acting was poor.The "low budget" showed throughout the entire film.Very slow and boring overall. It was nonsense from start to finish.If you're into nonsensical delusions and hallucinations (schizophrenia) and depression, then this movie is for you.

I was not expecting much.. just came across this by chance, and a couple hours later my body and mind are still trembling with the power and depth of this trip through the surreal. emotional, and visually stimulating, complete fantasy yet somehow touches a very real sense of ones being, and longing for redemption.. fulfillment..a search for completeness.watching, feeling this movie was a profound experience for me, but I will not be surprised that it is not for everyone, or even anyone not prepared..open and patient, for it's magic to take you out of this world.

This was such a beautiful film and the amount of production value pulled off on such a low budget is stunning. I discovered this filmmaker through another great film entitled Ink and am pleased that the director is still doing amazing work. I don't want to spoil too much of this film so won't go into too many details but the two main characters don't know one another and connect in a very unusual way. Seeing how their stories progress with and without one another is very interesting and I couldn't wait to see what happened as it went on. The atmosphere of the film is unlike most films and the director has created an interesting and visual world for us to explore with these characters.The actors are wonderful and the writing gives them room to really let us see that they are lonely and hurting. Helping that along is a beautiful score and I really felt affection for these two characters and wanted everything to work out for them.As the film goes forward and we see more of what happens, we are absolutely pulled into these stories even more and I won't go into the specifics but it's where the film really shines in creativity and brings you imagery that I've never seen before. There are some things I didn't understand and am hoping repeat viewings will help clear them up. But it didn't take away from the overall film or the feelings I experienced while watching it. I look forward to another viewing.
