Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

because it's a pure stinker that nobody wants to watch ! OK i didn't have the subtitles so i couldn't grasp the conversations but here the summary of what i have understood: a group of friends are in vacations in a cottage near a lake : they prepare a meal, they eat it, they have a coffee break while Jenny speaks about a baby; then, they become obsessed by the yacht anchored in the lake : one guy swims to it and gets hurt ! Jenni reaches it by taking a boat and that's it ! So during 70 minutes, it's a plain, it's a drag ! Nothing happens, there is no tension, no talent behind the camera ! Like all the talkative movies, they fail to be interesting because instead of shooting the stories, they shoot the teller ! So maybe someone will find it a masterpiece but for me it's among the worst movies Jenny ever did !

...helps one to fall asleep. I've no idea what this film is about, except that it is several whiny 20-30 somethings together... including the obligatory minority who is one of three decent actors in the piece (though you wouldn't know it watching this)... and something to do with a screenplay. The dialogue (delivered as if reading from the script) is mostly about how misery loves company, 'gosh i feel really sorry about myself', and lets make the audience feel the same unless they're already put to sleep by the soft lulling of acoustic guitar...There's a ship floating in the water, one guy tries to swim to it and he hurts his foot... oh oops that 's the end... That pretty much sums up the whole thing.

I saw this film on the Sundance channel. The film is quite special. It is very simple film, but yet it is not. It only introduces 8 characters-Brad, Kiki, Arabella, Ellie, Ryland, Jordan, Frick, and Trey. The film was one of the most beautiful and moving pieces I had seen in a long time, with a heart felt soundtrack and moving cinematography, and ofcourse wonderful acting all around. Ignore bad comments on this film, and see it for what it is- a great movie, Bravo John Huddles. And Thanks.

So mannered and "actor-y" you want to scream, this film is notable only for the participation of the always-wonderful Dan Futterman. This is the nadir of Jennifer Connelly's self-conscious, "aren't-I-a-fine-actress?" film turns (at least she's not relying on her breasts as usual). Not worth the time.
