Cooper Shaw definitely deserved her win for Best Actress at the American Movie Awards. I would have also nominated Ted Trent and Tim O'Leary. I wasn't expecting it, but the friendship between Willie and Neila made me cry at the end. Arlene was a great villain in that she was multi-dimmensional. You could see that she was hurt -- and hurt people hurt. You could tell this film was really shot in the Midwest. The supporting characters were so real and middle-of-the-country. I think the music also brought the story to life. I had to look up the composer - Geoffrey Burch. He did a great job.
