River of Grass

About This Movie

So, 'River of Grass' is this fascinating flick from 1995. It’s got this moody, almost dreamlike quality, which I think really sets it apart. Cozy, our lead, is this disenchanted housewife, and her encounter with Lee spirals into chaos pretty quickly. The pacing is interesting—definitely has a languid feel at times, like it’s just meandering through the story. There’s this underlying tension that builds as they think they've committed murder, which really explores themes of desperation and escape. The performances feel raw and authentic, capturing that sense of aimlessness. And there’s something about the Southern Florida backdrop that adds to this eerie atmosphere. It’s not your typical crime drama, and that’s what makes it distinctive.
