This film is beautifully written and produced. I read some of the critics negative comments and was floored by their lack of insight. The way this film touched on obesity, religious persecution, homosexuality, suicide, divorce effects on children, parental alienation, alcoholism, teen angst and bullying was masterfully done. Especially considering the low budget for this film and the fact that it only took a month to film with only 7 actors and actresses was incredible. Every performance was top notch. Anyone with a negative review must be very narrow-minded.
