Made me feel very relaxed


I felt it was much like real life when two people go places. Lots of down time with no dialog.
I felt like I was on a trip myself.
Made me very melancholy as well, after ending a long tern relationship a few months ago as it reminded me of all the road trips we took together and the hiking, etc.
Wish I had someone to do these things with again.
Nice little movie.
Too bad that people have to find reasons to dis it.

Sorry, but I have to dis it. I LOVED Wendy and Lucy, by the same director so I thought I might like this for much of the same reason you mentioned, Wendy and Lucy was relaxing. This was a snooze-fest. I think it might have been the actors but I was completely bored.

I felt Night Moves and this was a snooze fest, so I will never get to see Wendy and Lucy. So, yeah, in a way it is so relaxing, it puts you to sleep, but what is the point of watching a movie then? I might as well get a TV Yule Log.
