Pretty Good
it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
This film is like a breath of fresh air. I do not know how to write detailed reviews. I will simply say that this film cleared my brain and something else deep inside me. It's like I heard a long forgotten song. Strong, original product.
It has good compositions. It has a good idea. It is not a very good movie. The after effects elements thrown in for a surrealistic effect fall a bit flat. The acting was fine, using non-professionals was a good choice. The main character seemed to resemble a 2x4 but maybe thats why shes in the forest trying to figure herself out. Its fine that this movie had no real risk or conflict but its pacing and narrative can't save it from being a vapid experience at the end.
