This interesting and unique story - from a play by Mark St. Germain, was written and directed by newb filmmaker Austin Stark, in his second full length feature film.
I haven't seen the play, but the screenplay was only just interesting, and lacking of any real real excitement, or anyone to cheer for. The pacing was too slow, and there just wasn't enough substance to make the 98 min runtime fly by effortlessly. It played well into the Medicine vs. Morality vs. Commerce conflict in the donor decision making process, but that could've easily been portrayed in a much shorter screenplay.
Performances were decent, especially Kelsey Grammer and Julia Stiles (although their relationship wasn't convincing), but in general, the obvious lack of proper "cast direction" from Stark's inexperience was evident. Everyone seemed monotonic in their dialogue and body language.
The cinematography I found a little bland, and the score was nothing really spectacular. Nevertheless, a decent effort and presentation by Stark. If anyone is in the medical field, or has dealt with the donor process, I'd say it's a must-see, as they'll probably appreciate it more than a general audience.
