"Courage is the solution to despair, reason provides no answers. I can't know what the future will bring; we have to choose despite uncertainty.

"9 times out of 10 I hate it when a movie doesn't have a proper ending, I guess for interpretation purposes. This is one of those times. Had it not cut off at the worst time then it would have deserved another star.
That being said it was filmed and acted very well. I did thoroughly enjoy it up until the screen went black and ruined it for me."
"Unless I saw things wrong, wasn’t he putting the barbed wire on under his white robe? Wouldn’t Mary have noticed in the final scene?
Anyway, I enjoyed this film. Hawke delivers a great performance. And, tho strange within the context of the film, I enjoyed the lying down scene. Unexpected and memorable… the type of moments I really appreciate in film."
