Federico C Best Sizemore movie in years Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Tom Sizemore is the real deal. Look at IMDB and see how busy he stays making movies. He is clearly interested in making the best movies he possibly can, and in the case of this movie his performance captures an aspect of the human condition that is not explored on a regular basis. Truly worth checking out, the payoff comes when the movie is over and you have an opportunity to take Sizemore's complete performance into consideration. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member As someone who spends lots of time in the Mojave Desert, and coincedentally, on the exact road Phoenix lives on in Yucca Valley, I could somewhat relate to what he goes through on a daily basis. (One of the final scenes is Ariel walking down a road, you see a fence in the background near the road, that's my fence in front of my house. It was so cool to see!) It's an interesting story about someone who doesn't communicate with many people, all of a sudden starting to have a few people in his life he sees and interacts with on a regular basis. He has a secret to hide, and low self-esteem. This coupled with drugs and alcohol begins to wear Phoenix down. I wish the movie was longer, it's a bit under 1 hour and 20 minutes. Certain parts felt like they were expedited, but I fully understand having a small, limited budget. I totally recommend! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Wow, such a low rating yet such a good movie. Whilst there wasn't a lot of action going on, it was interesting to see what he was going through, etc. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
