As with her previous film "Old Joy", Reichardt manages to capture the perspective of a socially marginalized outsider with a degree of authenticity and sympathy few -if any- other filmmakers can match. Riechardt's highly realistic aesthetic is believable, but usually not compelling: As is often the case in reality, the narrative is often so ambiguous and the pacing so plodding that the film is sometimes as boring as everyday life. The result is a film that is highly admirable but only sporadically compelling.
