A very young single mother living in Hamilton, Maryland tries to connect with the father of her child before going on a month's summer vacation. To say that very little happens in this film would be an understatement, but it's really got a spare visual poetry to it that kept me transfixed for it's brief barely-over-an-hour running time.
Young women talk by a river bed and swim in backyard pools. The sullen young father mows lawns to earn money and plays with his dog. They connect for one night, but he awakens in the middle of the night and plays video games while she looks on. There's a real melancholy quality that invokes the potential disconnect between sex and it's consequences.
Jeremy Saulnier was the film's cinematographer.
