14 minutes into this movie and im outta here!

where and how did the hippy couple become part of the main characters lives? was a scene cut?
first they stop by the wood shop for water (as strangers) and then they're living with them?
then he wants to have sex with her despite still only sucking face with his girlfriend?
weird.
a movie where no one grows up; characters rife with childish melodrama and irresponsible; the son who still lives with his dad at 27, leaves for a few years then comes back, apparently no different, the dad is selfish, the maybe other dad the same, the young hippie couple irresponsibe and spacy .
But the scenery was spectacular, breathtaking, paradise- the best part of the movie.

The story was about coming to terms with your life and accepting a different view; Caleb had to leave so he could return and start anew. He didn't cut all ties, he kept in touch with the girl and she seemed content with his absence and understood it. At the end the view of the lake was a homecoming. The best part of the whole movie was the scenery, spectacular.

Nicely made. Gorgeous cinematography. Truly makes me want to visit Canada. Although the struggles of the characters seem trivial compared to my own, it makes me realize that everyone has the same problems. The only real difference is the shapes and forms that these problems manifest themselves into. The tool use, although in a limited amount of shots, was realistic. I thought it was wise for the director NOT to push the envelope in this area. Few things seem more ridiculous to me than watching an actor hold a tool the wrong way, turn a wrench in the wrong direction, or use the wrong tool in general for a job. Apparently this Canadian film maker doesn't take the intelligence of their audience for granted. This I applaud!
While I'm not personally familiar with the actors, They were all exceptional! I am not a movie buff, but if all movies were made this well I would quickly become one!
I think Hollywood might want to start paying more attention to the Canadian movie industry because it seems to me that Hollywood is about to be left in the dust. (And I'm an American)
Bravo!

truely a story about a man who grows up believing in his history only to find that he has not been being true to himself. I find the foreshadowing of the father/son conflict. good movie - stunning location shots.
