I have to confess I have a penchant for indie films. That said, this subtle and well written work gives the time and space for each character to develop, breathe and grow. Its choice of subjects, two male grounds workers in a small town in America, could easily have swung this delicate work into the pedantic or predictable. Too many times in the land of Indie the working class subject is fetishized or romanticized, or, worse yet, neglected and bypassed. Not here. By giving the characters real depth through well written dialogue, we see them grow, and in turn, grow with them as the seasons change. The everyday is transformed through excellent pacing, and we are given a chance to see what time can produce. Real human relations.
