>"The achievement of this film is that it wants to evoke that state of drifting need, and it does. There is no mechanical plot that has to grind to a Hollywood conclusion, and no contrived test for the heroes to pass." **- Roger Ebert**

Truly a masterpiece. The kind of film that seems like it should bore you or feel slow but doesn’t. Perfectly captures the feelings of yearning and helplessness in life.

Really fascinating. A bit too over the avant-garde edge for my personal taste, but also I haven’t been able to get it out of my head for the past few weeks. River Phoenix is a true revelation, and Keanu Reeves holds his own as well. Movies made in the PNW always make my heart ache, and this one was no exception. This will be one to return to in the future, perhaps after I’ve read Henry IV.
