The photography is very good. The actors, also very good. Rob Lowe cried as if he were really hurting.The scenery,superb. What else can you say about Big Sur! The house which they rented, beautiful. All complemented perfectly. It's really a very good movie. The story, powerful and hard to swallow.But, please,don't you dare to watch it if you are having a bad time in your life. It's 100% pessimistic.
Since the moment they arrived to the house, they all immersed themselves in drugs and alcohol.I will never understand the fascination you (some)Americans have with drugs and alcohol. The music they hear and the occasion are in perfect match. For a moment,image and sound reminded me of "Zabriskie Point".It was almost like going back to the psychedelic era. But forget about flowers. After the first half of the movie, all spirals down. By the end I felt it was Thelma & Louise all over again! Well, not that much,but close.At least,in this movie you know why.
Knowing why they all four end doesn't mean is less absurd than in Thelma & Louise. The disgusting part is they are too old to be so stupidly immature and coward.
It's good they chose to film in Big Sur. At least you can use those beautiful scenes to abstract yourself out of the despair.
To cut it short, this is not a movie for adolescents.I would go further.People who aren't in perfect psychological health can't and mustn't watch this movie. This technically good movie has no moral and no escape to its despair.
