Movie Haiku:Mark (London) & Kurt (Oldham) were close friends, but now Mark has assumed “adult responsibilities” whereas Kurt’s still “finding himself.” They get together for one last bittersweet camping trip before going their separate ways. Beautifully filmed but the pathos is a bit predictable, with Reichardt daring us to “want more.”
