Production values, visual design, and performances are first class with strong naturalistic use of dramatic locations, transporting the thinking viewer into some bleak, dust-battered landscapes. First time feature writer Nicolaas Zwart creates an interesting variety of characters to propel this study of a wounded, escaping female bank robber (Marot Robbie) holed up in the barn of a struggling 1930s dustbowl farm – in turn, being assisted by the owner’s downtrodden young step-son (Finn Cole) Co-writer, director and score composer Miles Joris Payrafite works well with Award-winning cinematographer Lyle Vincent, creating a moody atmosphere with eye-popping shots of massive dust storms blanketing barren farmlands. For some, this could be familiar ground, but the cast of above-average performers and strong visual treatment should keep the patient viewer fully engaged. There’s a winning star turn by young Darby Camp, as the son’s adoring young sister.

A largely unnecessary scene featuring a seduction in a shower is overlong and somewhat detracts from the general flow of the story, along with some F-bombs that filter through. As in most movies, there are the odd details that don’t always work, but these are minor compared to many - and with all the modern innovations for sound, some of the post production voice-over narration was a little muffled and hard to hear – otherwise a slick and thoughtfully enjoyable entertainment.

Not a masterpiece, but good love/gangster story with surprisingly good cinematography.

The music is also a hauntingly good part of the ambience of the film. The old man who plays the spoons scene is intense start to finish. This is a good watch on Showtime now. Expand
