- Quotes
Adam: I know who you are. You're a teacher, at Essex County, right? I know, I know, cause I've seen you. My son goes to school there. Yeah, not teaching today, huh?
Sarah: No.
Adam: What is it, recess? My son's name is Adam. He's "special needs." You'd recognize him if you saw him.
Sarah: There's a lot of kids.
Adam: You know what this song's supposed to be about?
Sarah: It's about a fire lake?
Adam: Wow, you are a teacher.
Sarah: You send your son to a regular school?
Adam: Yeah, until they kick him out.
Sarah: You don't send him to a special education program, or anything?
Adam: No, he's... He's a foster kid, right? And the agency claims they didn't know about his condition. We thought we were getting a...
Sarah: ...normal kid?
Adam: Yeah right, okay, I'm an asshole, alright? But you know, look, it's a burden.
Sarah: They don't let you just dump him?
Adam: I'm glad you weren't my teacher.
Sarah: You should be.
Adam: Look, I mean... He's a sweet kid but if you're looking for Rain Man, or like a math genius, or a classical fucking pianist, you're out of luck.
Sarah: I heard that a lot of these kids, though, they're gifted. You just have to recognize what it is.
Adam: Oh, he's gifted in starring at the fucking TV all day. So am I. And what's your special talent? What are you good at?
Sarah: Well, I'm...
Sarah: [Sarah and Joe start to have sex in a hotel room and Sarah rides Joe even harder] Fuck! Fuck me! Harder! Oh yeah! Do that! Do that! Yes!
Sarah: [after Joe cums on Sarah's face, she starts to get dress] Is it three o'clock yet?
Adam: No.
Sarah: I'm supposed to pick up Adam. And I'm giving you a B+.
Adam: Well, I'm glad you weren't my teacher.
I'd put this in my Netflix queue and when it came and I sat down to watch I was dismayed by early occurrences. Surely I hadn't decided to order this . . . this genre . . .
I visited the critiques here, was discouraged by the 5.2 rating but trusted the intelligence I encountered here in the reviews and went back and saw that, yes, this IS a good film.
The editing . . . the single shot of Phil where we see for the first time, on the left side of the screen his attire and suddenly know his profession, and at the same time on the right side of the screen, reflected in the car's windshield, what is on the dashboard. In a second, an instant, we know so much more about Phil.
The music is just right and enhances each mood.
It's a well crafted film.
It is very sad.
And it is very good.
