Maine

I think it describes quite well the contradictory behavior some women have when they are wounded inside.

Laia Costa is a joy to watch in this movie. You should set your expectations before watching though. Although the setting is the Appalachian Trail, this isn't a movie about hiking the Appalachian Trail. Rather, it is a dialog driven character study of "Bluebird" and "Lake" as the encounter each other on the trail. As their relationship develops and grows more complicated, you find yourself rooting for one or the other.

(2018) Maine DRAMA

Written and directed by Mathew Brown that showcases three people at a hiking trip through Maine, only on the following morning one of them leaves. Leaving just Bluebird (Laia Costa) and Lake (Thomas Mann) to hike by themselves, stumbling onto a a rest stop with a cabin meeting other hikers before they go their merry way! And we learn more about the both of them as the movie is progressing such as Bluebird is originally Spanish and that she may have been married her hiking partner, Lake already knows about.

Some of the interesting things shown on this film are the ritual of the hike itself, that involves the hikers themselves using nicknames or hiking names that is not their own. Just like the two central characters of Bluebird and Lake are not their original names something they call each other as well as other hikers. The few other hikers they have met along the way they have met Hex, Dragon and Flop and then met a young lady name Eliza. Before they meet Cheese and Hermes, and then somewhere along the way, it just was not interesting anymore.

Unbearably dull, no redemption. The ending leaves the audience unfulfilled. Vagueness about vagueness about everything, nothing, something? Confused? You will be even more confused after watching this.

Can we are least get their real names?

Bluebird. Lake. Flop. Hex. Dragon. And then, praise be, an Eliza!

At least it is a great representation of in media res. Great as far as defining it, that is. Defining how to use the storytelling device ineffectively. An effective in media res film would include exposition and flashbacks shown accordingly to eliminate confusion, not sacrificing the audience's connection to the characters and therefore any investment in the story.

One must acknowledge a direct predicament when the compelling Laia Costa and charming Thomas Mann as leads cannot save a film.

Time waster and not the good kind....too bad really, I like Laia Costa allot, especially in Victoria which is an amazing and entertaining film but this snooze does not entertain.
