Interesting concept and interesting story elements pieced together to make this a somewhat plausible tale. Some parts are funny, boring, WTH, and touching esp near the end where you may find yourself grabbing for tissues. Jeremy Sklar does double duty as director and co-star "Tom". Would like to see more of Baize Buzan, too.

Obviously this movie requires suspension of disbelief. Fine. But I can't suspend giving a single you-know-what about the characters. This poor miracle-child, Tom, has been doomed to, not only live his entire life in one aimless 24-hour period, but also to spending most of that short life in a car with a self obsessed, emotionally unhinged woman who has the thinnest of plans which she ends up sabotaging in a flurry of 'eff-you's'. Under her charge, Tom gets to experience a typical Tuesday somewhere in the Midwest.

I watched this lovely little film in the midst of wildfires and smoke in California, a global pandemic, a political crisis, an economic collapse, and a couple of personal catastrophes. It takes a lot to distract and cheer me these days! To our great surprise and pleasure, my husband and I both settled cozily into this visually stunning, sensitively written and directed and surprisingly very well acted (given the relative obscurity of its cast) little tale, and ended up feeling refreshed and restored by it, ready for another round of the privilege of being alive, no matter what. Can't ask for more than that from a film! I hope you treat yourself, too. And I hope we see more from Jeremy Sklar.
