It's a gorgeous-looking, sensitively edited film to be sure, but never finds a dramatic foothold, no matter how many manic arguments and drug overdoses it throws our way.
What's the point of white privilege if it doesn't protect you from disaster and despair?
The directors get some melancholic atmosphere out of their visuals but don't have the scene sense to build their actors' committed performances into compelling through-lines of seaside personality disintegration.
It demonstrates a remarkable sense of atmosphere and place.
This is pretty standard stuff, and it's not always rendered too convincingly.
The Malloys' filmmaking never rises to the level of the actors' nuanced performances. The actors are energized, but the camera enervates.
