I saw this film in September 2002. It was at a film festival that had other films playing simutaneously. Usually slower dramas like this are not my cup of tea. However, I know there is an audience for this type of movie, especially after seeing In the Bedroom and The Hours.  Delayed kept me in my seat for the entire movie. It kept moving forward. The main character goes thru changes during the film. The sound and cinematography were great despite the low budget. The audience also seemed to enjoy it, laughing in the right places, etc. If this film ever comes around your way at a film festival, it is worth checking out.

Engine trouble strands Greg Winters on the farm of eccentric widow, Martha Thompson, who offers him a place to stay in exchange for handyman services. Greg agrees to the arrangement just long enough for him to fix his truck and leave town. The old woman's constant disapproval of Greg almost make the arrangement intolerable, but he unexpectedly falls for her beautiful daughter and soon begins to enjoy country life. Meanwhile the local sheriff is investigating a brutal hit and run. Can a few days in this small town force him to confront his past and change his ways? Or is it too late?
