I'm glad I took a chance on this one despite the low rating. The way that everything is played out is very reminiscent of live theatre, and the script progression is really engaging right from the beginning, even though the whole thing takes place in a single location.
The writing deserves special mention here. It's authentic, and well-delivered via notably strong performances by the actors. The raw emotional journey of the characters is quite poignant and scattered with clever little bits of dark humor.
Overall, a really unconventional and original indie that works really well despite it's simple premise and low budget. A real treat for those who take the effort to read reviews as opposed to judging based on star ratings. Solid 7.5 from me. I'm assuming a lot of low ratings are due to the expectation that this is some kind of horror film, which it is not.
