The Epitome of a ''Lost Gem''	SamG 03/15/2007
Anyone who ever held some guilt (or perhaps not) over a falling out/'abandoning' of a long-time/personally important friendship/relationship and/or has never fully resolved some feelings of hurt from actually being 'abandoned'/forgotten about by someone they considered a true friend should check this awesome, complex and underrated film out.
