I had the pleasure of seeing this film Tonight courtesy of The TriBeCa Film Festival. The experience was greatly enhanced when the director and cast opened the floor for q&A. My initial rating for the film was 2.5/5 stars, but when I had time to digest it all and hear what the cast had to say, and ask my own questions I was able to gain a new understanding and a greater appreciation or the film. In fact the film Is incredibly relatable if you don't look too hard for something to grab on to. Everything is right there open to interpretation and revelation. Much of the acting was improved which made the characters more real. Truly great film. It is hard to find a movie that offers so much freedom, Removing the pressure of searching for a predetermined meaning. Well done!

What differentiated this film from others that take a look at psychedelics experiences (The Doors: "I'm Afraid of My Father"), is the realness of the relationships and the underlying sadness of Molly, struggling with the responsibility of Motherhood and marriage. Wonderfully played by Eleanor Hendricks. John Anderson was a standout, adding a great comic element. Jason Shelton's character, also struggling with his decision to get engaged, was terrific.The cinematography captured the beauty of the Rockies and brought the audience to a very interesting place.I was privileged to see this film last night at the Tribeca film fest, very interesting how the actors were left to improve for hours at a time in the wilderness. Bravo.
