I REALLY enjoyed this movie. I hadn't heard of it, but was captured because I saw that Gale Harold was in it. I liked the weaving of Lilli's childhood moments into the current "time" and liked how they repeatedly displayed what time it was.
This movie really identified human foibles. I think most people generally lie to themselves and loved ones when trying to protect them. Each character in this movie exhibits those lies which made me feel the "realness" of it.
I didn't know until the end that the main actor Jennifer was also the writer, director and producer which makes me even more impressed with the film after the fact. This is something I would watch again however I do think it was flawed in 2 ways. One, Morrison is supposed to be OCD and have a fear of germs and if it was really acute then he wouldn't have done many of the things he did, like touch a banister and touch the girl, etc.
The other thing, one of the characters, Flora, didn't make sense to me and I didn't really understand her role except for the sake of having the Jerk Will around. Flora's character did need a little more development as to WHY she was in the film.
Anyway, overall best dose of melancholy I've seen in a long time.
