Overview

William Keane is barely able to cope. It has been six months since his six-year-old daughter was abducted from New York City’s Port Authority Bus Terminal while traveling with him. Repeatedly drawn to the site of the abduction, Keane wanders the bus station, compulsively replaying the events of that fateful day, as if hoping to change the outcome.

Unshakably harrowing but deeply moving.

Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star

The film achieves a dramatic intensity that is both admirable and frustrating.

Kate Taylor, Globe and Mail

Lewis makes Keane's paranoia our paranoia. Kerrigan limits our world to his world. And that's how this grimly shot, roughly felt drama pulls us in.

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

When it comes to an emotional payoff at the end, unlike most Hollywood films, it has earned it.

The next time you see someone railing in the streets -- fighting a battle you'll never understand -- you may remember Keane and pause to reflect.
