Did this movie have like 1 house and a backyard to only film in?


I was interested in this movie but this really put me off when i eventually noticed that they were in the same 2 places the whole movie :S

It's based on a play and was staged as such. I loved that.

Yeah, it a play and they kept very loyal to it. Maybe that's why it was too overwhelming or tedious for me.

I'd love to see the play after watching the film. I enjoyed how the setting of the film was primarily in the backyard and the home as it made the passage of time feel more real. Can definitely understand if someone felt claustrophobic or something from it though.

Too bad messages are going away. It's exactly posts like this that are so inane that I cannot help but note. Gabe, far and away, had the best role/part and that was obvious. But to the point, this clearly was a filmed play. Meaning it would be good on CRT TV but of little value to see outside the home. I really liked the entire cast and this Washington kid might have a career someday, but can I get a movie-movie? Why a filmed play. ? If I knew how to pronounce Mykelti Williamson I'd say it in real life.

And yes, this film DID pass Berger's axiom of believability.

When you have acting this great, you really don't need to move to different places.
