Reichardt’s deeply assured, darkly comic feature debut, predating her turn to focusing on stories set in the American northwest, takes place in southern Florida, the scene of the director’s own early life. Lisa Bowman plays Cozy, an ennui-plagued housewife who sees her chance to escape a suffocating existence when she falls in with a no-account stoner named Lee (Larry Fessenden) and the two hit the road together, in a film that Reichardt calls “a road movie without the road, a love story without the love, and a crime story without the crime.”
