It touches on quite a few interesting topics in a nice way that might give you some insights. It also has a few funny lines and set-ups.
But, it kind of feels like a lost chance to do more. I liked the idea that it doesn't want to be this "big-drama" movie. But, everybody doesn't have to be hysterical all the time to explore issues deeper.
Especially Chris Walken seems a little wasted - sure, he's playing an old guy trying to find a place in a new world (and a I _do_ love how he keeps editing his Wikipedia page), but somehow you miss his passion. Some people do lose their passion when they get old, but for most, there's at least glimpse still there, and I, for one, would have liked if it came up.
Also, the end, while leaving with a good "message", or moral of the story, feels a little forced and comes by too quickly to let you feel the main character, which is Amber Heard (not Chris Walken, though he does get first billing, he's actually a supporting character), "clicking" to what she needs to do.
