For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Great premise, poor execution.I was surprised and disappointed to learn that Rebecca Thomas had both written and directed this movie. Not because I am adverse to Thomas I hasten to add. But because what is a very good idea, and what I had hoped would be a little gem, is executed very poorly. I would have liked to have seen Thomas' script directed by someone with more experience.The biggest problem with this film is that the viewer has to answer a pretty important question mark, without much evidence. As it happens, it seems pretty obvious what this answer is but it would have been nice to have seen more evidence.I also felt that so much effort had been put into the lead role, admirably depicted by Julia Garner, that much of the supporting cast were overlooked and as a result, under developed. For a film that is 95 minutes long, you really don't get a lot of information on which to answer the question mentioned above. A prime example is the brother, Mr. Will. He goes from devout Mormon, to pill popper, door slamming bad ass and then back again in a matter of days, and you have no idea of his past, or any insight into what he is thinking.7/10 because the story is good, it looks beautiful and Garner makes the film worth checking out. 3/10 because Thomas' promising script has been let down by inexperienced directing.

I am a huge fan of indie films. When I came across this the other night I added it to my netflix list to watch. I started watching it last night and couldn't wait to finish it today. This movie's story line is genius. I would have to say that the way the story develops is brilliant. I love the fact that my brain was stimulated the whole time. There were so many levels to this movie, which made it so very intriguing to watch.Now can I just say this... Rory Culkin is sexy in this film. I don't know quite what it is, but I get these weird attractions sometimes. I don't want to get into detail about the movie, but I suggest you watch it. I was hooked. After the movie was over, I was like that was a great movie.<3 Heather May

Overall, I thought this picture was entertaining and enjoyable with good performances all around, especially by Julia Garner in one of her first feature film roles. However, there is something that needs to be pointed out. Evidently, there are a lot of people that don't understand the meaning of the term "Immaculate Conception". The term originates in the Catholic church and is a teaching referring to the birth of Mary - and that she was conceived and born free of original sin. That's all. It does NOT refer to the birth of Jesus or "virgin birth" and to use it in that sense is wrong. The term has a specific definition regardless of popular belief. Look it up. I know what it means and I'm not even Catholic.

Admittedly I'm a bit jaded these days because I just watch to many darn movies. And a lot of them have been pretty bad of late. Well this one happens to be quite an unexpected gem!The story is pretty enthralling from the beginning. And quite an unexpected plot. I can usually see plots unravel two steps ahead, but here it was smoothly unexpected or I was just enjoying it to much to notice.I see this movie as a "human interest" and then partially a "coming of age" story. Smoothly eliciting a response that is very touching and self reflecting in greater or lessor degree about religion, cultural norms, life, romance, and in the end love.One thing I didn't even get from the movie but read in the IMDb summery and from the one other comment is "Mormons". I think it's a mistake and unnecessary to the story. I've known a lot of Mormons for decades and none of them are like this. It might offend some with movie stereo types. I don't even recall them referring to them self as "Moron" in the movie. I just saw it as okay, some sort of fundamentalist/extremist religious group. It could of been of any faith, Amish, German Baptist, etc., that might share a remotely similar puritanical type lifestyle. Not a big deal, just saying calling them "Morons" detracts from the movie a little. Just forget the reference and enjoy the movie as it is.The acting performances were very good, especially the lead who carried it through the whole movie. I hope to see more from this talented writer/director and the factors.Highly recommended!
