Q: How is the Acting?
A: Ben Kingsley clearly chose this role because he wanted to remind everyone of how infinite his talent is, and he does.

Q: How is the Directing?
A: Shot entirely in sepia tones, the film has a deliberately nostalgic feeling to it. Adding to that are a smattering of dream sequences and surreal moments, that seem to have no place in the style of the film, and yet somehow never take you out of it.
Q: How is the story/script?
A: It's a small film that doesn't try to do very much, but the emotion is relatable, and the dialogue is lean and often original.
Q: Is there anything else worth mentioning about the movie?
A: The soundtrack is like a dope mixed tape of old school hip-hop.
