Everything moves slowly but deliberately and tge performances are great. Karen Allen is so good in the lead role as she helps us see that fine line between being in control and being lonely.

Slow in a good way
Watch it again
Yeah, it was kinda slow.
BUT... watch it again, this time with the knowledge that Ella+Nora=Eleanor. That's Nora's full name. Nora and Ella are the same person.
Remember the Andy+Nora written into the rock, the truck driver Ella rode with-his name was Andy (he worked at the quarry and they show Ella going there), they have the same backpack, and LOOK at everything about them-they are the same person.
Kind of makes it even more sad because she obviously lost Andy somehow after finally deciding to let someone into her life.
Nice, Quiet, Little Picture
This is a nice little contemplative film about who we become and the challenges that come to define us. It is pretty short and I wish there was a little more to it- it's only about an hour and thirteen minutes of actual movie. The melodrama can be a bit much too, but overall it is an impactful story about how our lives turn out. It is thoughtful and contemplative, with some delicate and moving moments.
