I really like the characters in this movie. Elis and Neck are just two 14-year-olds, and Elis' parents are facing a divorce, but they're always on the same page about how they treat Elis. Elis likes May Pearl and realizes for the first time from Pearl that love is not so simple. Neck was raised by his uncle, who also silently cared about him behind his back, as well as Mud and his old friend Tom, who finally stepped forward to rescue him and Elis from danger. The only thing I don't understand is probably Juniper and Mud. She hasn't appeared since Mud told her It's over. Both of them probably have to look forward.

    The film of the Southern Wetland Town of the United States, the photography and soundtrack are beautiful. The script is quite satisfactory from the perspective of a child to spy on the love and values ​​of the adult world. Of course, the director could see that the woman was hurt a lot, and only men were the only ones in the film.

    A very complete and elegant and beautiful piece of exquisite independent film in the American South. The rhythm of the first 90 minutes of more than two hours is really suitable for sleeping, but the slowness is full of unfinished foreshadowing and foreshadowing worth looking forward to. The plot reached its climax in the second half hour, but it was still as restrained, profound, elegant and violent as prose poetry. What is love, how to love, and the eternal topic of whether it is worthy of love makes people constantly reflect on this. It's still not enough, but it's already ignorant.

    Ellis: No, that's why I called you. He needs to know people are looking for him.

    Neckbone: You think he doesn't know that already? Jesus, Ellis! Why do you even think he's on that island?

    Neckbone: Ellis, I'm serious! We don't know who this guy is.

    Ellis: He loves her, Neck. He told me.

    Neckbone: I don't give a shit who he loves!

  • Ellis: He's not dangerous.

    Neckbone: [sighs] Sounds like a shitload of state troopers thinks differently.
