REVIEW
This movie is not for everyone: some of the subjects it deals with are disturbing. It’s about relationships and dealing with people’s behaviour, human weakness and the truth (or lack of it).

The acting throughout is excellent.

CLASSIFICATION
for sexual content including graphic images of sexuality, language and brief drug use.

FOR NITPICKERS ONLY
When May first enters Bobby’s home while standing in the living room area talking, the bright spot of sunlight on the floor jumps about from one scene to another.
