nice direction, great acting, great story

Rating: 10/10 (18 June 2000)

I thought this was a wonderful film, very well-directed. The cinematography is beautiful in this film, giving a realistic, almost documentary-like look, with some very nice scenes of the California desert and lots of sunshine and creative indoor shots using sunlight coming through windows. The acting is very good also, the characters are very well portrayed, and a lot of humour and emotion comes through in their interaction. This is one of the best dramatic films I've seen this year
