I didn't see a separate post for this movie and I really believes it deserves one.
Any fans of the Covenant books would surely appreciate this little movie. It confronts many of the same issues that Covenant faces throughout the books.
I cannot go into much detail without destroying it for any first time watcher. It is about facing your guilt, forgiveness and redemption. It speaks to all of us about the consequences of our decisions, good and bad. In many ways it integrates some of the concepts of The Matrix, with characters existing in different worlds and different timelines.
This is a little independent film so do not expect huge cgi stuff but there is excellent photography and really good acting.
Just moved this film to my top 10, perhaps even my top 5.

Beautiful little gem of a movie. Part The Crow and part Eternal Sunshine, it's an art house flick that doesn't take itself too seriously. There's a couple small flaws, and it starts to drag just a little bit in the middle, but otherwise a solid movie.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

One thing I was wondering.....why do you think he was called Ink?
The loudest truth I ever heard was the softest sound.

Good question. He wasn't a tattoo enthusiast, so that's out. Three-letter names are cool, but... 
If I had to guess, I'd say it was because he'd let the internal darkness blot out his true character, like ink spilled across a page.

A great scene from the movie of Jacob the Pathfinder orchestrating the fathers destiny.

Best scene in the movie. I've totally been there under certain... influence. If you liked that, try this link. Same vein.
