I wish the marketing would have shown this more as an ensemble piece, which though Keri Russell was the main character, it did have several stories going and why not give Shelley her due in the marketing as co-star, writer, director and even co-songwriter. Overall though, its tone was fairly dreamy and not as deep as I would have wanted it to be. I believe Shelly was well on her way of being a very good film maker as the evidence is there, but unfortunately the talent ended way before her time.
