Don't listen to the negative reviews
... View Morea film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
... View MoreOne of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
... View MoreWorth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
... View MoreA road trip movie of two people (both beautiful) who are strangers to each other and they meet for the first time at a party. He suggest a car trip through the southern states of the US. She impulsively agrees to go with him. Thus the story begins! We learn along the way both have issues with events in their personal lives. These cause bumps and fractures in this impulsive agreement between the two. She comes across as immature and bitchy at times. He comes across as perfectly likeable and about as sweet as he could be.You'll have to watch this to see how it ends. Both actors give convincing performances and you'll fall in love with him!
... View MoreThis film drew me in because it connected with me - the deep dive into the characters, the pace of the film that allowed me to fall in love with both heroes, and the visual story that reflects the inner world of the characters and the director.The viewer more or less knows where the story goes, but the trip getting there is why we care about the characters. There is nothing flashy here; and that's what is great about the film - the ordinary life, the ordinary decisions that the characters make - it is all so similar and so different from other films.The feature is shot beautifully, the music is the connecting link between the worlds of the viewer and that portrayed in the film, and the lives of characters on screen are realistic and real.I highly recommend this film - indie to the core, in the best sense of indie.
... View MoreLu's breakout feature film is stunning, gorgeously shot, and extremely ambitious for an independent film. The film follows Sylvia on a road trip through the south with a charming, sexy, and slightly dangerous stranger she meets one night before the wedding of an old friend. The reveal at the end makes the movie that much more powerful. The acting is fantastic in the film and it is perfectly cast. The directing and editing really shape gorgeous moments between the two leads. I was taken aback by the locations of the movie and how well they are captured. As we take this journey with Sylvia, our choices for our future, like hers, become more and more apparent.
... View MoreLi Lu's beautiful independent film boldly explores a young woman's reckless reaction to the panic of her late twenties. The struggle is real and Lu skillfully, and without judgement, shows how the desperate need to achieve some level of relationship and career success can force you to make decisions you wouldn't otherwise consider. This is not your typical independent film. The characters and motivations depicted are honest and the relationships are filled with the manic highs and lows of new love. Lu has the courage to deftly use quiet moments that allow the audience to focus on the story, stunning imagery and beautifully composed music.
