The description on the SXSW site for this film, like most others, is quite vague, but as this won the jury prize for best narrative feature based on its first showing, I'm hyped going in. My joy deflates quickly. The movie is filmed like a documentary, exclusively with hand camera work, and the pacing is set to match. But it's the story that just drags me down. "Ahh, here's what it's like to be a sales guy with a jackass boss." "Ooh, 90 minutes watching a man fall for a scam, watching his final dreams wash away." This is just sad.
