This is a low budget black and white indie supposedly based on a true story. The filmmaking is a bit amateurish but it does feel right. There are a lot of longer takes but it may be the necessities of indie filmmaking. The acting is also a bit amateurish. The leads are interesting but they're not the normal leading types. This is a rather dark film dealing with the ugly side of humanity. These are not appealing characters but that is the point. This is considered a cult classic although it's not going to be everybody's taste.
