Movie Haiku:Arguably Van Sant''s finest film to date -- told completely within the POV of a verbally inarticulate teen (Nevins) who doesn''t know how to ask for help when he unexpectedly finds himself in deep trouble. Technically superb with msterful visual & sound design. Mostly novice cast also close to perfect.
