Wow, what a delight after many, many years finding this pop up on Hulu recently. I vaguely remembered seeing this film back in the mid 2000s, hung over and depressed one morning as a young alcoholic. This movie was really a beacon of light, that it's never too late to try to start over, and that if my life amounted to simple living, that I didn't need to be a "mega success" to be a success.
I'm not sure I could do this film justice, trying to describe it, but my hope is that people will continue to discover this little gem throughout the years and maybe give it some semblance of appreciation.
While most of this was filmed in Jersey, it still passes for parts of Connecticut. I also liked the random scenes that would represent the passing of time and the changing seasons. The pacing is perfect, an excellent representation of how we need sometimes slow down and absorb the moments. Trade excitement for serenity. Again a very simple movie but wonderfully done.
Props to both Ned and Liev. Bravo. This one truly deserves a 10 considering it's budget and what they made here. Probably in my top 20 movies all time.
