An hour into this movie you will realize that absolutely nothing has happened. Nothing at all. The lead actress is very pretty, as are all of the young actresses in this film. The viewer sure gets to watch her walk around a lot, and she almost shows some actual emotion a few times, but the promise she displayed as a young cast member of the slightly more interesting The Unloved has not yet evolved to it's full potential. Oh, and there's some really gross eating scenes too. Like the microphone is in their mouht. Disgusting! The dolt portraying her boyfriend has the charisma of roadkill, and the reasons why such a lovely young woman would be with a clod like that remain a mystery to the audience. As for plot? Good luck finding it. It tries so hard to incorporate elements of so many genres that it completely falls on it's face. Comedy? No. Thriller? Definitely no. Noir? Don't make me laugh. Drama? Hardly. Even the barren beauty of the windswept landscape doesn't get captured here. Lighting and editing are both lacking. Cinematography nonexistent. Dealogue is sparse and when you get some its pretty trite/juveline stuff. Thought I might be onto something when I found this on tubi. Well, I was onto something. Just nothing good. One aimless, pointless meandering scene after another. Not one believable relationship between characters at any level. I do think several cast members have talent, but they are given no opportunity to shine in this stinker. A movie that doesn't make sense where the characters just say their lines in a monotonous way which belies any meaning. Rather confounding/absurd waste of time. When the movie finally gets around to revealing the secret/revelation it lands with such a thud because by that time the audience is either sleeping or indifferent. Skip.
