I felt lucky to be able to watch this early Kelly Reichardt movie and found it very much keeping in the Reichardt style. It did a good job of overturning all the Bonnie and Clyde cliches. I also found the Florida setting interesting, as many of her movies are set in Oregon.
Cost: free via work-sponsored Netflix.
Where watched: at home.

The tag line kind of amuses me. Bchdel, yes? Seems like it could be!
I can’t remember if it has two women. Maybe not?
Or Bechdel… Woman director and prominent women protagonist – it does seem a possibility. And if it upends Bonnie and Clyde…
Huh, I wouldn’t have guessed the age of this film based on the poster. I thought it was more current. P.S. The lead actor’s main IMDB photo is supremely unflattering.
The poster might be newer. It got a restoration recently. I looked up that lead actor too and blanched at his photo. He seems to work steadily, so perhaps it’s his way of standing out?
