Love this movie,really pleased with it from start to finish.Great talent.I will be telling all my family and friends about this one.I highly recommend it.It has everything a movie should have and more.This film was put together beautifully and very beautifully written.All emotions are involved in this one and you'll find yourself in the characters shoes(so to speak).I also bought this for my mom as well and she really enjoyed it too.This film has won an award at the Trail Dance Movie festival and I must say a well deserved award for sure. I would really love to see this movie hit theaters across this country because I believe a lot of people would love it.It is definitely worth watching.

A dysfunctional Texas family gathers to comfort a mourning mom, and finds surprises.

Director Fritz Green's second feature film was shot in his hometown of Bartlesville, Oklahoma. This low-budget film has more to offer than Terrance Malick's TO THE WONDER that was also done in Bartlesville. There are weaknesses that go with limited resources, but there are strengths that showcase the talents involved. The leading actresses can go on to bigger things if the right people see this one. Fritz deserves to move up a notch too. Dawn Christie does well as the mom and should gravitate to larger work. Shelby Lynn is a beauty and is perfect as the granddaughter who has much to learn about her old grand-pappy. Renee Michaels plays the boozy daughter to a tee. Jeana Farrar portrays the special needs daughter with greater depth than you'd expect from a novice.
