Director Marianna Palka frames the story through silence and awkward glances, using Los Angeles as a sun-bleached backdrop for personal barriers. It's a slow, almost documentary-like observation of two people who have forgotten how to connect.
This is for viewers who appreciate intimate dramas about fragile human contact. You're left with a sense of an unresolved question and a quiet melancholy for the conversation that never happened. — MovieFinder Editorial
