Yes there are drawbacks to the quality of this movie in places, but if you JUST APPROACH IT AS AN INDIE THRILLER, YOU WILL BE PLEASED. If all movies looked like big studio products, how very vanilla they would be after awhile.
I thought the portrayal of his PTSD episodes were really quite good; and the feeling of confusion that is generated throughout the film is likely a deliberate plot device to make the viewer feel the main character's own confusion, pain and puzzlement.
Depending upon your sound system, some of the dialogue is muffled, probably because the desert wind buffeting sound had to be canceled out. Just put on your channel captioning, you'll be fine.
If this movie isn't for you, you will know at the 25 minute mark. Maybe you'll come back to it one day when you're snowed in like me, maybe you won't.
Overall I really liked this, it's definitely worthwhile for something different during lockdown. Sometimes it's just nice to remember that the U.S. is bigger than one type of climate, and movies can have more than one style of presentation.
