About this movie

Arielle is a down on her luck dreamer who longs for popularity. Dean is an ex-con working for his abusive father. The two have an instant connection, and after the accidental death of Dean's father, are forced on the run. In order to sustain their trip, the two are relegated to robbing gas stations and small shops. In an attempt to gain social media clout, Arielle livestreams their robberies. The two become a modern day viral Bonnie & Clyde steam-rolling towards an uncertain future.

Ratings and reviews

Good leading couple & direction. One star just for including several WOLFCLUB songs, which is great! Unfortunately the film ultimately portrays a young woman who, by the end, is vile, remorseless, careless, and incredibly selfish to a grave degree, without redemption. Could've sent a strong message about the ills of social media—the theme—but delivers an ending that's shockingly opposite; perhaps the intent was to convey how society can decay rapidly (or is already gone?)… very sad.

A teen movie will social commentary.
