This is a current offering on Criterion Channel 2023. Pretty basic road trip story. But beautiful and some of the finest camera work (for a budget like this) that I have ever seen. It is like the camera is an extension of the directors body. Oregon location adds a moodiness and feel to the story. The dog is wonderful. So glad I stumbled on this short little gem of a movie. The camping scenes felt real. The camping gear was real - not some new stuff from REI bought for the shoot. Lots of little subtle details that make it feel like the finest home movie ever shot and I mean that in the nicest way possible.
