My overall impression

Wow. Just… wow. This jaw-dropping three-hander about a man caught between the life he’s built for himself and the life he’s always wanted will leave you breathless. When the two worlds he’s tried to walk between violently collide (the collision coming in the form of a confrontation between the love of his life and the best friend from his younger, wilder days who, like Peter Pan, will never grow up) he’s forced to choose – the life of dead-eyed convenience and security or the life of wild-eyed adventure, where nothing is certain and everything could come off the rails in an instant. It’s compelling, to say the least. I think all artists can relate to the root of this story – the conflict between the need to relentlessly pursue our dreams and the need for stability to survive, but no matter who you are, if you aren’t moved by the end of this tense thrill ride, then you weren’t paying attention.
