I began watching this movie and was delighted by the nice montage of the rock film. This was the only good part of the movie. Her lines were so bad that I physically had to turn my head and at the wall for a few minutes. I DID NOT sense any love interest, nor even a FRIENDSHIP between the two. They seemed they were robots adrift in the desert forced to regurgitate the lines while staring so blankly that it seemed they would evaporate into a puddle of tears at any moment. I felt like the tension was extremely artificial and the plot was written by someone with a 7th grade education level. Please dear god to not watch this, nor subject another human in doing so, ad is what happened tonight. Ruined the day.

So much to like. Nothing scummy happens. Nobody becomes dangerous. The actors had a very narrow range of emotion, appropriately, and they were superb. Speaking from experience, I found the intellectual fraud and appropriation that Alex experienced to be spot on. Any undergrad in the sciences needs to see this movie. The ranching issues are also genuine but not overworked. It's a movie about people figuring out what is important. Beautifully, beautifully done. This film will go far!

There will be no Oscars for this movie. Acting a C+, but the story is a good one, A-.

Scrolling thru Netflix, thought the idea was different and found I liked it. I live in Arizona and the movie captures the bright quiet feel of the desert- when it isn't scorching out. Everywhere you look you see wide vistas, bright sky and you feel the wind. And it's quiet. Time seems to move slower in the desert when it's quiet and you don't have a lot of people around. The cast are earnest, they know what they are trying to do in this environment and work at it -geological research, ranching, law enforcement. They have choices to make daily and they work through them to stay on track, but they're weighing changing direction all the time. They are likable and hard working so you hope they succeed. It's a good story.

really a small 'love' story but has enough reality of both geology, cattle ranching and academic politics that I am all familiar with to make it enjoyable and happy with the it overall. Ah the power of fossils and rocks and cattle!

I loath, no I hate this film. I thought, great a film with a geology setting. But it was technobabble. It was ludicrous. It made hallmark movies look like cinematic gems. It's like trying to pass crumbly shale off as granite. I despise this dreck

It’s kind of a slow-burn from here, however, full marks to the lead paid and the director Jonathan DiMaio for keeping you invested in the story and the narrative.

“Unconformity” is a unique and compelling film that offers a thought-provoking look at life, the struggle for survival and the journey towards ambition from two varying but somewhat similar perspectives.

DiMaio talks about desired loneliness and loss; But the real issue is that of the unpredictability of life; of how things change the way you least expect them at the time you least expect them. [Full Review in Spanish]
