Reviews
cinelover
This small movie is very emotional. Keeps you wondering what is real and what is a dream, or an illusion. Confronts good vs. evil on a philosophical level but never looses the human element. Shot on the streets of New York, so it is kind of gritty and real. I am still thinking about the characters. Loved it!
