I'm a big fan or Renee O'Connor, the producer of this film, so I really tried to like it. For my two cents, her are my pros and cons:
Pros The lead, Miles Muir, did a very decent job. The cinematography was good at times. Some of the location work was beautiful. Renee O'Connor was very good as the step-mother, but there just wasn't enough of it. Most of the cast was pretty good. Jed Sura seemed natural in his part. The daughter, Emily's, acting was well done and her bits were funny and well-timed.
Cons: The dialogue, particularly for the lead actor, was awkward; particularly with all the technical monologues. The older brother, sorry I can't recall his name, was not very good except on occasion. Editing wasn't very good. The scenes were too long and in some spots, the story didn't hold together. The ending was so unclear that I don't know what to think. Really didn't like the ending.
Conclusion: Somewhat amateurish which is a shame because several of the cast and crew are highly experienced and accomplished professionals. I would lay most of the issues at the feet of the writer and director.
