Any bad? Most likely not suited for those folks who arent into slowburning stories, because this story really takes it's time to unfold itself and even when it unfolds nothing much happens, but that is not a bad thing at all...
The good; this movie was directed, written and edited by debuting director Max Walker-Silverman and it is a promising debut, because this director knows how to evoke emotions without using dialogues. There are lots of moments of sheer silence, with only the sound of the desert wind blowing. And it soothes. And it moved me. That's quite an achievement that not many directors are ever able to manage. Chapeau!
Of course this debut movie was made with a tiny financial budget and one can tell by the below average quality of the photography. But that is only a minor criticism.
The old actors, whom I vaguely knew from years before, are delivering a solid performance. It's a full on actor's movie actually and for those who are into a mellow, slowburning portrait about life and love in the desert, this is not a bad choice.
