Where do I begin? This movie totally caught me off guard. It is so obvious to me that Arliss Howard must have spent years putting this together. He should find himself UP for the big 3 awards - Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor.
I'm not sure if everyone will be able to relate to the main character who is a writer with a very overactive imagination. He is lower class and a bit of a redneck and has a drinking problem. Instead of being overly dramatic (like Tender Mercies or Leaving Las Vegas), I feel that his situation is portrayed a lot more realistically.
The presentation of his imagination mixed with real life moved me.
