  Review by Chris Charpentier

  I think this film was the most hard to watch out of all the nominated films but that’s exactly what it needed to be. How personal this is, I have no idea. But Max Klaiber performs his role as if he’s letting a demon out of his body. His mannerisms and his line deliveries are poignant and say a lot about how the character has progressed up to this point in his life. I’ve heard Max say it a few times but this really does feel like it was made as a therapeutic release. The entire film is blunt, raw, and upfront about alcohol and drug addiction and how it affects the people around us.

  Review by Jess ★★★★½

  I’m 100% very biased with this review, but I just want to say that Max has done something really beautiful by making this. Both through its final form and its creative process.
  Its greatest strength is its beauty interwoven through the despair. The glimpses of stunning natural majesty and sweeping score undercut the melancholy and horror of watching Pat’s life fall apart.
  Watching the project grow and shape itself from the havoc-wrecking, flippant script I read in a Starbucks lobby to the soaring devastating piece it is now has been so inspiring. As a creative, I feel encouraged to showcase my own struggles and strengths in my art. As a friend, I’m so inspired by the work that Max did to create this and to put himself in a place where he was healthy enough to honestly make this well.
  Love to everyone who brought this to life, I’m proud of you all.
