This story of two losers gambling their way across the American south is a nostalgia act in the best way: it showcases aesthetic values that certain American filmmakers, writers and actors of the '70s embodied brilliantly...

...a movie about lovable losers, leaning hard on the charisma of its two stars.

...presents realism and sentimentality in a strange but intriguing mix, leaving the implausibly sweeter material until the end.

...while it’s a bit of a slow burner, Mendelsohn is so compelling, there’s really no need for things to speed up.

...a poignantly seductive love story about two marooned midlifers – one a loner, the other just lost.

For the most part, their odd coupling works, each character propping up the other until their paths must inevitably diverge.
