Assisted Living (2003)
How is this possible??
When you realize that this film was made by someone twenty years old on an extremely tight budget, it kinda makes you sick in the pit of your stomach. You have to wonder how much overfunded garbage gets churned out while talented young film makers toil with little or nothing, producing quality output that shames many of the headliners. If you didn't watch the commentary that came with the film you missed out on an interview with the filmmaker that was refreshing and enlightening. Possessing technical talent, organizational skills AND the ability to tell such a complex and sensitive story is rare. To see such traits so fully developed in a man of such youth is truly extraordinary. Looking forward to seeing the work of this young man as his career matures.

Offbeat Story of Love on the Run
I checked the spoiler box because I certainly don't want to run afoul of the spoiler rules here. I'm not going to review the movie to that depth anyway. There are others who have already done enough in that regard. I just wanted to add this comment: The movie would have been loads better if the ending were altered so that the girl stayed with the last guy. This was the consensus of those who watched it at my house the other day. Sure it would have made it a tad more commercial and a little less avant guard, but sometimes less is more. Besides, even if she stayed with the last guy, the movie would still have been an off the scale in terms of movie freshness.
Enjoy.
