It's great that movies like this can still be made; shot on 16mm, no big name stars, much of the cast aren't even professional actors, very adult themes, almost experimental, risky. However this time the risk doesn't pay off and at 129 minutes it's at least 29 minutes too long. I appreciate that they're going for a naturalistic documentary feel but the plot, such as it is needs a bit more narrative drive. Instead of drive we get narrative drift, the characters just drift along aimlessly and while this is true to life the filmmakers lost track that this is supposed to be entertaining. It's still worth a watch though and although the main protagonist is sketchy af I'd like to see him return. What happened in LA previous to this movie? There's sure to be a great story there.
I'm seeing lots of reviews here claiming that Strawberry is underage and that this is a pedo movie. Complete cobbler's. The age of consent in Texas is 17 which is the characters age. She isn't a virgin either and she's also an experienced cannabis smoker, so not so naive either.
