Despite not speaking a word of dialogue, JK Simmons did alright here in his portrayal of an alcoholic 60 year old. Simmons' character Stevie is a loner, quite Ill, and spends the 70 minutes reconciling through traumatic childhood and adulthood memories.
While the movie is meant to be macabre and somber, I really didn't feel any sympathy for the character nor was I intrigued by the actual movie. Plus the ending was ambiguous.
A better directing job could have elevated this film. There's far too many movies that explore mental health issues or familial trauma - this one was not worth the time.
