Logline: Erin and Charlie escape to the desert to navigate an unexpected and challenging new phase of their relationship.
The Hollywood Reporter Review: “Sarah Whelden’s cinematography is dazzling. Its bright, candy-colored intensity creates a hyperreal mood in keeping with a story about what is or isn’t real, as we are led to wonder how much Erin has idealized Charlie. Wide views of the desert reflect the couple’s isolation from the rest of the world, as well as the glaring brightness of the sun.”
IndieWire Review: “It also looks just gorgeous, thanks to cinematography from Sarah Whelden, which never skimps on the dusk from which it takes its title, but also finds warmth in mornings, late nights, and cozy interiors. Mostly, it feels safe and welcoming, the exact sort of space in which someone would want to work out their biggest problems and face down their worst tragedies. We could all stand for more of that.”
