Horribly boring watch, won't watch again, and can't recommend. This is just a lot of nothing happening. Part of the movie is literally just a guy house-sitting, there are literally multiple scenes of characters just being bored. Alternatively it's scenes of a guy having moments of lucidity surrounded by extreme self destruction that doesn't lead anywhere story wise. Unless this is someone's exercise therapy in getting out a experience they had getting sober, I don't really know for whom this movie is made.
