, two exceptional veteran actors not given the chance to front a film but get one here, a rare outing for senior actors in what might be defined as a tentative romantic drama, but more apparently a study in loneliness.The center of it all is undoubtedly Dickey, whose weathered face in unapologetic closeups is a vision the camera is in love with. A veteran of over 60 mostly independent films includingDickey plays the widowed Faye who now has traveled with camper in tow to this isolated spot.
Fear not, the big event does arrive when Lito actually drives up and their initially awkward reunion begins, a visit where they get to renew an age old friendship they shared as kids but now only seem to have loss and loneliness in common. They take a swim together, share crackers and ice cream, and Studi has one lovely moment as he plays a song his wife actually loved.
Thanks to the chance to see Dickey and Studi given this kind of opportunity in an industry resistant to grown up stories of love and longing about those of a certain age, is modest but worth the trip for audiences who want to take it. In addition to Janvey, Jesse Hope and Walker-Silverman also get credit as producers. Cinetic Media is handling sales.
