Jun 11, 2018"Sh*t just got real." This is a wonderful coming of age story as well as a story about how the bond between two males, one old and grief stricken, the other young and shut down, find healing in each other's company. The best kind of independent film. I can't recommend this too highly.Morris N Super Reviewer
