Caleb (Shea Glasheen) and Sarah (Dianna Glasheen) have fallen a bit off
the grid of late: Both are out of a job with no silver lining on the
horizon, their financial situation is rather dire, and they don't have a
place to stay - so for the time being they sleep in their car mostly, with
the surrounding woods giving them plenty of privacy. Every now and again,
they call on friends and relatives for (non-refundable) loans to at least
afford cheap motel rooms every once in a while or crash at friends, but by
and large, their car has become their castle, the woods their stomping
grounds ... There's quite simply hundreds of ways this film
could have gone wrong, from going the tearjerker road on one end of the
spectrum, to leaning too hard into the socio-political undercurrents of
the subject on the other. But what makes this movie is that it tells its
story in a very unexcited way, and really uses little of the
well-established means of narrative filmmaking like dialogue or decisive
action and comes across rather like a vignette of often only remotely
related shots, shots that take a while to decipher even, and likewise the
little dialogue there is seems to be at first rather random, only coming
to frutuition as piece of the bigger picture - and all of this sure makes
for a rather fascinating and pretty unique cinematic experience for sure.
