2022 "Not Rated" 1h 40m What a refreshing take on the classic road trip movie. It's a perfect combo of buddy (albeit, the love/hate variety) movie, sci-fi, indie, and comedy, all rolled into a zany, fun-filled wild ride of a film. If you looking for something different, and I mean different, you owe it to yourself to check out this little gem.
Peter (Matthew Jeffers) and Winona (Sarah Hay) live in the same apartment complex in NYC. He's a gay, little person who's just plain mad at life. She's a kind hearted prostitute who's on a mission. She's determined to head up north into Canada to meet up with aliens so she can be abducted by them and taken to a distant galaxy. She's on a schedule and convinces Peter to steal a neighbor's car and join her on her quest. Well, actually she bribes him with a huge wad of cash.
This is quite unlike anything I've ever seen before. It's full of laughs, interesting encounters, and at the heartfelt dialogue as you'd expect from a film like this. The writing, acting, and directing, all come together perfecly to create what I think is destined to become a timeless, indie classic.
4 out of 5 stars
