Lost on Purpose

Watch Trailer
2013 · 104 min Drama
4.3 / 10 · TMDB

Our story takes place in the fertile, San Joaquin Valley. Fueled by gin and sheer determination, Elizabeth James (Ms. Liz) operates her third generation dairy farm outside the region's domineering co-ops. To help keep the place afloat, she's employed five renegade ranch hands. These boys have put a pin in responsibility and opted to stretch out the party as long as possible. Unfortunately, women, booze, and fisticuffs can only lead to one outcome: trouble. With the dairy farm reporting its third straight deficit year, Ms Liz is attracting some unwanted attention. Delbert Furgeson, the owner of the area's largest co-op, is pushing to buy her out. This only incenses the prideful Ms Liz and starts a volatile feud between the two. Sharing the narrative are the ranch hands.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its world by contrasting the landowner's steadfast resolve with the anarchic existence of her hired hands, exploring the erosion of independent farming.

What lingers after viewing is the tactile sense of dusty routine and a simmering conflict that resolves into a quiet, bitter aftertaste rather than a loud climax. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Eshom Nelms
