Excellent film about alienation and solitude. In its own, uniquely Canadian style, this gently, ever-so-bittersweet comedy recalls the upbeat sad-sack ethos of a Kaurismaki film. Characters in their daily struggle possess the strange dignity of their persistence and the odd ingenuity of their patchwork coping mechanisms. The film is available for purchase here.
