It was an extremely interesting story about drug addiction, and not the sort of story you normally find in Hollywood blockbusters. For an indie movie it was well shot with sharp dialogue, and I don't regret my time with it at all."

Not only did she performed well in this movie, the fact that it premiered at the Cannes meant that the film was excellent. That alone would be enough for an actor as great as Miss Connely, I think."

I swear she was the heart of the whole film! I'm even tearing up a little just remembering it! :("

So if you want to watch depressing movies then you better watch this right now! You'll get depressed and sad after you see this"
