Title: I wanted to like it . . . .
Product review: So much talent, such spectacular scenery, and yet, this film put me to sleep like a horse tranquilizer. What the filmmakers apparently intended to portray as a father/son reunion brimming with angst, longing, anger, and regret, just didn't engage me. Period. The dialogue felt totally stale. Some of the scenes seemed interminable. The only refreshing character was Sam Shepard's mother, who reminded me a lot of the plucky widows I have met out in Nevada. Full disclosure: I turned it off about four fifths of the way through -- just couldn't keep my eyes open.
