A darker version of Thelma & Louise. Solid acting from the main characters. The plot is flat at some instances but finishes strong.

Dark and depressing
If you want the rainbow, you got to put up with the rain.
Two girls work as maids at the Tides Plaza Motel in upstate NY (?). They steal a brick from one of the customers. Cynthia Nixon runs the motel and is not honest either. Things escalate.
The film was okay. Geetanjali Thapa did not have a convincing role as Riz. Most of the filming is in motel rooms. No real background scenery. Dallas (Olivia DeJonge ) was an interesting character that wasn't utilized to potential.
Guide: F-word, sex, brief nudity.
Simple Review
My wife and I gave this film a go even though the ratings were low 4s and we're both glad we did! The story, acting, direction and cinematography were all at a very high standard. My wife and I both gave this a well earned 6/10 and advise you to ignore the low scores it's a very good independent movie that we both recomend.
