Raw and Organic

A simple but thoroughly engaging film. Even though I bought the soundtrack months before I've seen this film, the songs are more powerful when I actually saw the actors perform it. Even though it's a small movie, it delivers a big wallop because it tends to wear its heart on its sleeve. I enjoyed some of the film's grainy look, shaky camerawork, and toned down dialogue. This is the kind of picture that thrives on the experience rather than technical workings. Even though the ending was extremely sad, looking back on it, everything was in perfect harmony, like most of the songs that came out of this film. One can tell that the two characters cared for each other but it doesn't feel staged or forced. The film's organic nature elevates its quality and therefore it is the kind of movie that well-worth multiple viewings. This is one of the best movies of 2007.
