“Some of the dark humor in this indie, written and directed by Dusty Bias, is effective at times, and its quirky characters can be refreshingly interesting. However at other times, the film can lose its punch, as it meanders into somewhat contrived and non-believable plot elements.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI thought all of the lead actors here namely Nick Fink, Louisa Krause, Ritchie Coaster, Ann Dowd, and Melanie Lynskey were quite effective in their individual roles, with Coaster and Dowd portraying their comedic characters to the hilt.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSeveral years ago, I saw Biasu0026#39; feature debut u0026quot;Prairie Loveu0026quot;, which, in my opinion, was quite bizarre but showed potential. So hereu0026#39;s his next film and I think a better movie overall, and I see on this site thereu0026#39;s one more on the way thatu0026#39;s in post-production.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll in all, be prepared for some very raw and explicit language throughout this indie with a number of sexual references and one sex scene. As mentioned, kind of a mixed bag overall here with its quirky and dark humor effective at times, but the film can also wander into awkwardness and contrivances.”
