Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

tomnotarnold Wow! The filmmakers really knocked it out of the park with this one. They told a unique and intriguing story just about as well as anyone could have and all on what appeared to be a very low budget. It's a perfect example of just how much people can do with limited resources and a little imagination. To that I say bravo!

wyldmanndan-1 Robbie, in a troubled marriage with a wife who cheated on him, flees to his aunt's country home, which happens to be a home for pregnant teenage girls. He does a lot of chores and handyman stuff around the house, and strikes up a friendship with one particular girl. The movie plays almost like a documentary, clearly on a low budget, but does seem to be a realistic portrayal of what such a home might be like. That part was well done. However, what was unrealistic is Carla, his aunt, will be present with the girls, leading discussions, giving advice, being a motherly figure- but then she disappears for long periods of time. One simply cannot leave a 30 year old man with marriage troubles alone with overly sexualized teenage girls- things are bound to happen, and they do. I kept asking "Where the heck is Carla?" Nor was our man Robbie a very sympathetic character. I wanted SOMEONE in this movie to have some boundaries. As a former foster parent for troubled kids, I wanted someone in charge who I could identify with. Overall, I simply cannot recommend this movie.
