The screenplay by director Bell is packed with surprises, and the acting is excellent.

This digitally-shot feature never seems aware of its subjects.
12/28/03
A fine debut performance from Emily Grace in a new spin on the road-and-buddy genre.
11/04/03
An almost constantly surprising coming-of-age film with a dark twist that manages to take the high road with what is well-exploited material.

Top CriticThe film's somewhat light-hearted tone is wholly inappropriate in what is, in essence, a story of sexual predators.
03/19/04
This deep journey is worth experiencing.

A fine merging of means, material and ego -- a nicely acted, simple little road movie vacuumed free of any indie scene smugness or self-satisfaction.
01/09/04
It neither glamorizes nor demonizes truck-stop whoredom; it merely depicts it, with little of the internal strife that ought to accompany it.
04/05/04
Heavy with self-importance and dolphin symbolism.

a lesson on how a life-changing story arc makes a character-based drama work so well

It plays like a walk on the wild side dreamed up in a Starbucks.
05/21/04
Features a compelling performance by Judith Ivey.
09/24/03
Bell forces us to see characters from the proverbial wrong side of the tracks in a distinctly human light, neither ennobling nor pitying.
12/18/03
A modest but pungent slice of interstate life.
12/19/03
Sweet, suspenseful, funny, poignant -- and adult.
