It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

This film is a rare treasure. It is authentic. Godfrey's pure joy and innocence is a treat to witness. Benjamin's vision becomes a reality. The journey the two take together touches so many people. We really are all connected. One person's dream can carry so many …to all of us in the audience watching the movie. The music is outstanding and the emotion captured on film literally had me laughing with tears of joy. What a feeling. To ride the wave of these two, Benjamin and Godrey, and what they created together. Yes! I highly recommend seeing this film and sharing it with others. It might just renew your thoughts of what is possible and put it all on the line for yourself.
