Explores the same kind of territory pioneered in the short fiction of Raymond Carver.

A slice of life drama that, like the characters it portrays, plods along at its own pace. All the while engaging the viewer.

Effectively delineates those people whose lives merely exist on the margins of society.

[Mangold] shows an intuitive understanding that the truth is in the details, and that a modest story about real people transcending self-imposed boundaries can be more riveting than any summer blockbuster.

Mangold's vision is bold.

As the melodrama plays out, Mangold creates a heightened sensibility, the feeling of emotional exploration, the hope for understanding. Yet he doesn't really do much with it.
