I am giving this particular film a relatively high score because it is really obvious that the only problem with this movie is low budget. Or lack of funding to produce. If it had been a bigger budget this would have gotten a 10. Why? For the pure emotion it brought forward, which is what I look for in a movie regardless of the genre. The direction and filming easily represented that yellowish early 1980's shade of telling a story that deserves to be told. The actors did what they could, the scenery is very 1980's and while the story could have been more evolved, it was not a Hollywood production with all the bells and whistles. I will always pull for the underdog movie and I liked it. Also, a tragic case.
