      MaryAnn Johanson Flick Filosopher A road movie with no drive, without much in the way of conflict or drama, too mellow for the confusion and unsettled emotion it wants to evoke. Rated: 2/5 Aug 25, 2016 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed Star Bruckner is a very good actress who shines in an otherwise middling drama. Aug 13, 2016 Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice Two lonely souls trying to learn the steps of the trust tango as they travel through the South together. Rated: 3/5 Aug 5, 2016 Full Review Edward Douglas Film Journal International Li Lu's bland road movie is barely salvaged by the talents of its star, Agnes Bruckner.

      Audience Member If you want to waste your time go for it. One of the worst movies I ever seen. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member So beautifully shot & directed. I was completely pulled into her story and their relationship. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member This was a great film. It's a mood piece that is relatable to both the girl who got a rude awakening into life's realities, and the guy who realizes how selfish he's been. It's a poignant touch on how those people who stroll in and out of our lives do end up affecting us and changing us for the better, or for the more compassionate. The wonderfully slow paced movement of the road trip not only captures a road trip- but the slow healing that takes place in our hearts. The bore that is our life after the love is lost, was captured- beautifully, and without boring us. The character finally takes responsibility for herself and her happiness in the end- which was perfect. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Star Bruckner is a very good actress who shines in an otherwise middling drama. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member This well-filmed and acted multi festival award winner is a great character study about a disaffected 20-something learning the harsh realities of life, including that Prince Charming is not going to come racing to the rescue.
