Intelligent, hard hitting drama starring Kevin Bacon in amazing, possibly Oscar-winning, form as a paedophile trying to regain a normal life. Demanding subject, not an easy film to watch, it's another film they'll all be talking about.

Director: Nicole Kassell
Starring: Kevin Bacon, Kyra Sedgwick
2001 winner, Slamdance Screenplay competition
2004 Jury Special Prize Deauville

“Tough to watch, even more difficult to stop talking about” Cheryl Lawson & Leigh Ann Palone, The Movie Chicks
“Bacon delivers a startlingly edgy performance that bristles with controlled energy and subdued emotions” Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall
