Stillmotion!
Despite the protagonist pouring and drinking Black Label like it's ice tea, the rest of the screen time moved without requiring me to adjust myself on the seat. The prodigal character is doing a lot of things too wrong for the results to show as he would like to see. In any kind of story whether it be a Shakespeare or an Aesop, there is an opposition that builds up against the main character and in a lot of cases it is because of the character's own weaknesses. That combined with a slew of unfortunate events shapes the story into something remarkable.
Most of all, I laud your intention to compensate the audience's fifteen minutes with a metaphorically relevant message that giving up is a suicide to a temporary problem. When you expressed in your previous documentary feedback that you intended to create a movie next, I was skeptical. But with this one you pulled it off nicely.
