Involving drama, downbeat in tone and sometimes painful to watch. The character of James White is not always likeable but you may feel for him as he goes through his difficult, self destructive life.

This movie revolves around the unfortunate events that continuously plague James White (Christopher Abott) in this harrowing spiral into addiction and utter darkness.

This movie is extremely character driven, relying heavily on the actors performances. The acting was exactly where it needed to be, adding a sense of realism, giving this movie a very uncomfortable feel. Christopher Abott plays the role perfectly, in this breakout performance. Cynthia Nixon also gives a memorable performance as a cancer-stricken mother of James.

It is top-quality filmmaking, giving you a glimpse into life in it's most authentic form. It makes you feel different emotions, a sense of what it is to be. It has a gloomy feel throughout which gives the perfect vibe to the subject matter of the movie

Overall it is a film that boasts strong performances from all involved. It is a very dark movie that is definitely deserving of it's Sundance praise.

chris abbott is amazing. such an underrated actor. the script feels real not those fake boring plastic stories. the cast delievers perfectly anxiety, stress, draining out feelings. congrats. family drama about losing loved ones and other life problems.
