This is my first review, and I'm doing it because Dave Chen said I should do so on the /filmcast.
This is a wonderful movie, compelling and unexpectedly emotional. Stephen Tobolowsky is a wonderful storyteller who weaves his stories together masterfully, who left me smiling, laughing and even made me tear up just a little. In terms of direction, there isn't that much, intro and conclusion aside (these are, however, beautifully lit and shot). Chen simply steps aside and lets Tobolowsky have the stage, which, really, is the best choice he could've made. I recommend this movie (and it's only 73 minutes short!) to anyone who enjoys hearing good stories, well told, by a wonderful, philosophical and soulful storyteller.
