I?ve liked a lot of work done by director Gus Van Sant. This 80+-minute endeavor, however, is NOT one of them. What some people may call ?art-sy? in this film, I call SLOW-moving. It?s the sometimes interesting story of a teenage skate-boarder named Alex (GABE NEVINS) who spends a lot of time with his ?boarder friend Jared (JAKE MILLER), in part to escape the upset of his divorcing parents. One day, while fooling around on a freight train near the irregular skate park, Alex causes a horrendous catastrophe. The overall story is told with loads of what I call ?cascading? back-&-forth flashbacks, maddeningly wrapped inside what to me were a lot of often fuzzy-focused ?dead? scenes that go ?nowhere?. While Gabe at times has the appropriately general spaciness of a teenager, I found too much of it akin to ?sleep-walking? impassively through the story. This a not a ?horrible? film, but it (and especially the ?disintegrating? non-end of it) isn?t very good. At best, I'd give it 2.5 stars
