In John Sayles debut, we mostly get talking, talking, and more talking. A great script can do amazing things for a low budget film. There really was not a point where I was disinterested in what the characters were saying.
*Small spoiler* The tension between best friends JT and Jeff over Maura is great and culminated in a beautifully sequenced basketball game. You can feel the difficulty between them. I haven't seen the Big Chill. And after seeing this film I don't feel that it could top it. This movie should be an inspiration to all aspiring independent filmmakers.
