Artivels Undescribable Perfection

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

SnoopyStyle Depressed Kate (Kelly Lynch) fails in her suicide attempt. She is brought into the hospital. After some visitors, she walks off wearing only her hospital gown and an overcoat. She takes a random bus and gets off in the middle of the desert. She finds a kitty and then finds a bar. It's a meandering drunken sexual journey. She wakes up next to the well-dressed stranger (Barry Tubb).If you like Kelly Lynch drunk, troubled, and naked, this movie is for you. That is what you get and there is plenty of it. It's an erotic romance that leans more towards the art-house side. I'm not in love with this couple but I don't hate them either. It's an artsy erotic dysfunctional journey. Her bandaged wrists are the most striking part. Suddenly, there's a baby. Of course, they're naked a lot. This is one weird movie.

groanboxcoma This dreamy movie, I feel is so uncredited and unnoticed or not given enough credit. It may not be appreciated by many people because there are so many existing films similar to it (e.g. Wild at Heart). But, don't let that get in your way. I found this very similar to such films as 'Blue Velvet', 'Wild at Heart', 'Mulholland Drive', 'Lost Highway' and it strangely is reminiscent of 'Requiem for a Dream'. It's essentially an intense, beautiful, erotic love story. The moods' it creates are very carnal, passionate, melancholy, desperate and dream-like/surreal. I can definitely see the similarities to 'Monster's Ball'. All in all, it's a good but very overlooked film. For fans of depressing love stories and Lynch films, this will be very appealing.

rsoonsa Although given short shrift by the few critics who watched it, this is a worthy effort, marked by good acting, direction, technicals, and an intelligent script. Although in a state of undress through much of the film, Kelly Lynch is given an opportunity to display the full panoply of her acting range as there are essentially only two actors. And, as so often with independent films, all involved have an opportunity to be truly creative. The desert setting enhanced the starkness of the extreme emotions to which the viewer is exposed.

BrianCDavis I disagree that this movie is strictly a gratuitous sex film. I think it has a lot in common with American Beauty, in that it addresses how we choose to live our lives. In this case, they choose to have sex a lot, but that is not the point. The point is to deny the typical societal roles, and to live life however you want. The film has a lot of funny scenes, good dialogue, and a lot of David Lynch-style bizarre characters. Next to American Beauty, it is one of my favorite films. It is definitely a low-budget, intellectual, art-film, but worth watching if you enjoy intelligent filmmaking with a bit of humor.
