I basically watched this because it looked intriguing on Netflix streaming and Norman Reedus is in it. I didn't know anything else about it.

This isn't like most other films. A slow drama, dialogue based, periods of time go by and we don't know how long. It just shows clips of things, like real life, but slow and atmospheric, kind of like how real life is.

The acting and writing was well done. I enjoyed the performances. If you are a sucker for indie stuff like me that is done differently and well and not traditional Hollywood garbage then this may be up your alley.

If you are looking for something fast or action packed then this is not the film for you.

But I enjoyed it a lot.

Not seeing any trailer or knowing much of the plot I wasn't sure want to expect. I see others are upset about inaccuracies in the film but overlooking those aspects I was intrigued. It was a bit slow going, but just the kind of movie I enjoy. I loved the film 'Dark Harbor' many years ago (the only film i had seen Reedus in before The Walking Dead) and was expecting quite the same from this film. I would have liked a female character with more ambition and self respect but in the end i think she proved herself. Just waiting to see where the story would take me kept me invested until the end. I hope to see many more reviews in the future to see what others think of this film.

A Frenchman and his wife are vacationing around Twentynine Palms, and are driving through the desert going who-knows-where, to "repair" their relationship. A stop at a desert bar, where hubby gets drunk turns to disaster and she wacks him a few times with a lamp in a motel room. Now, she's on the run and doesn't know whether hubby is dead or just injured. Her guilt causes her to stop at a police station to confess, however, an investigation determines that he's not dead -- just hospitalized. And, she's not going back to him. Instead, she hitchhikes to Las Vegas. She gets a wonderful job and lives happily ever after... well, not exactly. You'll have to watch this one to see how well her choices go.

The movie has many issues but the biggest ones being it just simply doesn't go anywhere whatsoever. It's not even slow, that would imply there was still something going on. Lots of really lame plot "fake outs" to make it seem interesting but it's not. It reads like the selfish fantasy of somebody very unhappy with their life.

Everyone in this movie is extremely unlikeable and intolerable, even Norman Reedus who is usually a good actor pulled off a performance where he looked like he could've cared less being in the movie even when he's supposed to be interested in things in the movie.

Horrific acting, goes nowhere. I avoided this movie for years and I'll probably forget it exists. I think most people myself included only watched because of Norman but he doesn't save the movie at all.

The only redeeming part was Lena Dunham playing a character that is essentially, equally as gross as her real life counter part.

A bitter sweet romance, a reborn and an unlikely almost impossible match, that lead to such a unique love. Not the best script ever at some point, but still make my cry and feel empathy for such a hard human rality
