This film was recommended to me by a friend and I am very grateful to him for pointing it out to me. I loved it. As the story unfolded, I sensed there was something very special about the writing. Some films written directly for the screen are not that well-thought out, but this one, based on the play "Pluck The Day" is very well done. A great script worked in this director's favor. Seeing the world these people inhabited, their assumptions, their fears, their insecurities was so fascinating. It was a window on friendship, on trust, on love and loss. After significant revelations, we find that the most sobering shock is that our lives can no longer continue as they have before, and so, following classic structure, our narrative ends with a departure.
