Gabriel Kahane's deeply personal feature debut chronicles a lawbreaking teenager (Justin Mark) forced to work at a wig shop for cancer patients owned by the warm-hearted Susan (Catherine Curtin), where he befriends a guarded woman (Holly Heiser) who irreversibly alters the course of his life. It's a film that gives an honest peek into the often bleak (albeit exceedingly human) Upstate existence of Benji, his drug addicted, alcoholic mother, absentee father, and the others in his orbit.

The Age of Commercialism
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
The acting in this movie is really good.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
