"The film is shot and edited with skill, and the fresh cast members are subtle and engaging.
But what makes the film work so well is its refusal to preach, even with the highly emotional
issues at stake. It's also one of those nice shorts that leaves us with something to think about;
essentially, this is only the start of Russell's story." * * * *
