Not bad. But by no means to the standard of PTA's other films. In general, it was extremely well shot, and the acting was good. The story unfurled in an interesting way.
But there were inconsistencies in the plot, and I felt like characters didn't behave in the way they had been established earlier in the film. Afterwards I read that a portion of the film is a re-shoot of a short film PTA made with Philip Baker Hall called Cigarettes & Coffee and this possibly explains why parts of the film didn't mesh with the rest – it felt like things had been shoehorned in at times.
It was good to see Philip Seymour Hoffman in there, if only for one scene.
Not bad, but I'll give it a hard 7/10
