CGiii Comment
A quietly beautiful piece that gently unfolds - and the heartbreak that comes with it.
Kirkman directs with a maturity that only breaks the fragile subject gently without the obvious pain - which, in itself, is true mastery.
Let him make more films - there is an abundant amount of talent here.
He has come on leaps and bounds since the horribly static The Night Larry Kramer Kissed Me.

"Loggerheads" interweaves three separate but related stories that take place in different parts of North Carolina. On Mother's Day 1999, Mark, a young drifter with an interest in endangered loggerhead turtles, begins a relationship with motel handyman George. On Mother's Day 2000, Mark's adoptive mother Elizabeth wonders what has become of her estranged son. On Mother's Day 2001, Mark's birth mother Grace quits her job to begin a search for the child she gave up years before-a search that ultimately brings the stories together.
