A good movie but the slow pace will not to be the liking of some, however I think the slow pace is important for the atmosphere.
Those shots of silent bored Ted ads to the isolation and loneliness of Ted, this is no place for a 9 year old boy stuck in the middle of nowhere and practically running the dilapidated motel. The cast is excellent with Rainn Wilson as the shady drifter stuck at the motel and the always excellent David Morse as the seemingly depressed father. The show belongs to young Jared Breeze who carries the film on his young shoulders. The film is ripe for a sequel to see what is next for Ted.
