The performances are all fine, with Bruckner and Corbett the standouts as a parent and child with roles reversed after a death in the family.

The filmmakers were clearly not interested in the ending but in exploring the characters and the situation, and they do that with sophistication and genuine feeling, both for the people and the environment.

Teenagers in the middle of the desert. Dead mommy and alcoholic dad make one girl's time intense. MS for her best friend makes her time short...and add a boy in and you've got drama...journaling early 2000s style.

An interesting enough film with some touching performances. The landscape and cinematography are exquisite. The main problem here is a lack of climax in the plot, it seems to just meander through some pretty major happenings. Easy watching.

Really awesome cinematography and some great performances, especially Agnes Bruckner, but at the end I was left with a "so what" kind of feeling.
