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.

What a fantastic independent movie. It's a dialogue-based movie that really hits you in the heart. The acting was excellent and this movie made me relate to the dynamics of brief relationships that often come and go. These bad reviews are hard to read. Not every movie needs to be about a pointless superhero with magical powers.

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.

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.

A flawed script is my suspect for its non-victory.

I usually like hiking movies because of the variety in charectors and the scenery of the trails. This movie definitely not delivered the later one for sure. But, I was able to pick two main good charectors, but the film didn't evolve those charectors much. One good script could easily make it interesting with philosophies that can be assigned with the charecters. To me, the two main characters were interesting in the way they presented their philosophies, but it's sad that they couldn't get to evolve.
