Enjoyed parts of this, especially Philip Baker Halls character and performance, but was left disappointed at other points. A major part of the story is a girl gets married to a guy, and on their wedding day she sleeps with a stranger for money. Yet, despite this, her new husband decides to stay with her and that it was okay for her to do that? Very strange and really took a lot away from what was otherwise a good film.

File under cinema you can smell. After a pandemic's worth of time, too, all I want is to be able to sit down and linger in a diner with some coffee.

Imagine having the likes of Samuel L. Jackson, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Gwyneth Paltrow and Philip Baker Hall in your debut feature film? I’m diggin’ the vibes here, PTA really just had a knack for directing and camerawork from the very beginning. Nighttime cinematography with neon lights is one of my favorite things in the world, so bonus points for those scenes.

Most pta films tend to take its time for me to be fully hooked and usually it’s within 20 min This was about halfway through with the something happening in the plot  A good debut nonetheless and  the performances were all great
