Cute and quirky it may be, but it's also clumsy and misguided in its approach to mental illness. While Wood is a wonderful actress, she isn't helped by the unfocussed approach to her character, and Speedman isn't a strong enough actor to engage the heart.

Evan Rachel Wood manages to make this character charming and funny in spite of how she's written, but are we really calling this romance? This guy took full advantage of the fact she knew nothing about the world. Sure, taking her with him is better than leaving her on the side of the street, but seriously?😂 Of course they fall in love. He's the first guy she meets after spending her life locked at home with an abusive mother and he's not awful to her, except when he's using her for his benefit without giving a shit about her mental wellbeing. And she has a child-like innocence and would do anything for him. Jesus Christ.

This is such a a under rated film, a diamond in the rough. Try it you might like it

This is a romantic drama that tells the story of a janitor at a psychiatric hospital who then meets a patient that decides to follow him home. Evan Rachel Wood’s (Westworld) portrayal of Daisy is charming to watch. Daisy has been sheltered from the rest of the world and has a quirky, unique personality. Jay ends up taking Daisy to his brother's wedding and introducing her to his family. As they spend more time together, he finds himself falling for her. The plot is pretty predictable, but it is a fun, lighthearted watch. It's not a perfect movie, but it's genuine and heartfelt. And sometimes, that's enough.

Evan Rachel Wood and Scott Speedman star in the quirky romantic comedy _Barefoot_. The story follows an L.A. hustler who pairs up with a young woman who’s escaped from a mental hospital and takes her to his brother’s wedding, hoping to pass her off as his girlfriend. Wood gives an incredible performance that really captures the sweetness and naiveté of the character. And her chemistry with Speedman is quite good, as the two come off as a charming (and eccentric) couple. Additionally, the film has a nice message about loving unconditionally. A rather underrated indie comedy, _Barefoot_ is wonderfully entertaining and fun.
