Did have a look at the silent version - typical Van Sant experimentation, but I think he fluffs it by leaving the soundtrack in, thus making it seem more artificially like it's a sound film in which no one's speaking. Also, if done properly, one strives to make the story visual and thus minimise the need for titles.
Good acting by Mia Wasikowska and Henry Hopper.
After five years Jason Lew did write another screenplay (well, get it made - he may have written tons) which he directed as well - The Free World.
Schuyler Fisk was in Orange County.
Good music throughout.
