I saw this film when it premiered here in NYC. It is a really beautifully constructed film, full of quiet moments and perfectly framed shots. The cinematography is meticulous. Performances by the actors are generally very good, but the two highlights for me were the great Rip Torn in a small role, and the little girl who brought some greatly energetic moments to this quiet film. If you like, for instance, Terrance Malik's introspective work, you will see some of his influence in this film and in these first time filmmakers. I am really looking forward to seeing more of their work, and I recommend checking this film out if you can.
