Albus L Mar 24, 2019 She loved him, and she saved him and engineered his escape, and he can never come back. She's shot the man who tried to molest her, and perhaps killed him. What's left for her now? There are numerous hints in the movie, little signs. The constant emphasis on the colour red - blood red. The hole in the middle of those cookies - like a bullet hole. Devon insisting she mustn't climb that tree because if she does it will put too much of a strain on her heart, implying that could kill her. And finally the significance of the earlier falling-out-of-the-tree scene. Going up the ribbon-tree at the end meant she could save his life, by some strange nature magic - even if only in her head. But the ending we don't see is her fall, her death, the sacrifice which seals the magic. A life for a life. There's a lot more to this film than a casual viewing shows you, and the acting of Mischa Barton is stunning - and absolutely crucial to making the movie believable. Mischa may have had troubles later in her life, but here she is incredibly talented. Bravo, Mischa, for leaving us this performance. See more

Han S Mar 10, 2017 Reviewed 3.10.17. An indie showcase for Sam Rockwell's burgeoning star alongside a spirited debut for Mischa Barton. The chemistry of the two leads carries the movie past its flaws to an unpredictable and fanciful ending, which I thoroughly enjoyed. If you tend towards the quirky stuff, or recognize Rockwell as one of America's most beguiling actors, this is a 90's art house movie not to be missed. See more
