Delia's Gone follows Louis (Stephen James), who has an intellectual disability and lives with his older sister Delia (Genelle Williams) amidst her struggles with addiction following their father's death. After a night of drinking, Delia's truck is found abandoned at a bar, drawing suspicion from the local sheriff (Marisa Tomei) who soon discovers she's been killed. All evidence points to Louis who, pressured by police, pleads guilty and is sentenced to five years in prison for his sister's murder. Upon release, Louis is confined to a home care facility where he is visited by Stacker (Travis Fimmel), one of the men to last see Delia alive, who implies that there is more to her death than meets the eye. Armed with this new information, Louis escapes the facility on a personal mission to find who is responsible for Delia's mysterious death.

It's such a great premise... But the actual mystery that he's solving is not that compelling, so I found myself very restless.

One watches this movie with a persistent “this is just … wrong” feeling.

...just another minor variation on the “sympathetic fugitive pursued by bickering lawmen” formula that Hell Or High Water briefly reinvigorated.

There is good acting here - Tomei, James, Houser - but getting through it is a slog.

Rated: 5/10

We Got This Covered

The effort put forth by James, Tomei, Hauser, and Fimmel just about carries Delia’s Gone over the finish line, which offsets the overall lack of a laser-focused singular method of storytelling that would have improved things exponentially.

Rated: 3/5

Walks a little too close to the sun with a problematic portrayal of an intellectual disability that feels borderline offensive and wrong, which makes the film uncomfortable and unpleasant to watch.

A waste of great casting and performances in this terribly paced and poorly plotted story. Conceptually, it's a great premise for a story, but producer, writer and director Robert Budreau missed a huge opportunity to make this a great film, had he at least consulted a seasoned filmmaker for much needed improvements in his writing and directing. His story lacked cohesion, intrigue or any suspense. It was told in a static, inconsistent and bland "as a matter of fact" style, that dismisses any opportunity to become captivated or invested, especially when the normally comfortable 90 min runtime dragged on and on with slow pacing and too much filler for the little substance this film had to offer. This film could've easily been cut down to a short film, and it would by more appealing and enjoyable. Budreau's choice of depressing drab colors and poor cinematography just made matters worse. You can also tell he failed to direct his cast properly, especially Marisa Tomei, who seemed lost and out of place in most scenes, as well as some ridiculous dialogue Budreau wrote for her character as well as Stephan James' character. It's a generous 6/10 from me, mostly going to the great cast who did their best with what they were given.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
