At once a mystery and a love story, this road trip movie shows how three unlikely people come together to eventually trust and help one another in more ways than one. The three travelers are played by William Hurt, a newly released, middle-aged ex-convict; Kristen Stewart, a lonely young woman with insight beyond her years; and Eddie Redmayne, an awkward but earnest young man wanting to see more of the country in his big old American car. Together they travel the backroads of the southern bayou, unloading their emotional baggage and gradually finding hope. Prepare for a tear or two at the end.

Great review. Now I have to see it. I’d never imagine those three actors together.

I know, when I saw the cast, I became curious too, especially with Redmayne in it. He elevates the movie.

He’s the best. I’m looking forward to seeing him play a modern guy…he’s always in a historical fiction or period piece. It will be interesting to watch.

Eddie Redmayne has become such a sensation today. Sounds like this one is a good ol’ tearjerker.

Eddie Redmayne is interesting to watch in all the movie’s I’ve seen him in, one of them where he plays a transgender. That Danish Girl, or something like that.

I haven’t seen that one yet, but I did find him phenomenal in The Theory of Everything, where he plays Stephen Hawking.
