The Good:
The cast was remarkable, especially William Hurt.
The feel of the whole film dared you to be comfortable but wouldn't allow it, which I am assuming is exactly what the director wanted.
It felt the kind of "real" you feel when you have been in despair for a long time.
Music was fitting and a bit odd.
The Bad:
It was a little slow a times.
At times you wanted more, at times less... hard to describe...
Overall: This is a film about innocence distorted, past sins saturated in impotent redemption, anger and betrayal on a deep cruel level, and what family is or isn't. If American Beauty and The Doom Generation had a child whose life was turned into a Shakespearean tradegy by the owner of a southwestern trailer park, it would resemble this film in a cracked mirror. I liked it.
