Come across to this movie while searching through Gillian Jacobs' filmography and glad I did. Because as you see, there was no chance for me to see this movie on normal chances and I wish it was seen by many others.
Paul Sparks is unrecognizable as Baylis. What a performance throughout the movie. Jacobs as well, although she is more comedy focused later on her career, Gardens of the Night (2008) and this movie are great early examples of her early career what a great actress she is.
The film also contains many similar faces like Annie Parisse and Michael Shannon who gives early signals for his many great characters he will play later on his career.
And, the cinematography! For an indie movie like this it was amazing. Especially when we entered the last couple of minutes it felt like a stage play. (makes sense as it is adapted from a play by director himself)
The hopeful Christmas songs in the background blending with the hopeless, unsettling and raw setting where Baylis and Froggy leaves makes it such a devastating scene to watch from start to finish. Without an exaggeration the last couple of scenes alone was a masterpiece.
Like I said in the title, it is a 'Hauntingly Beautiful' exprience. I wish it could be seen by much more people.
