River of Grass Movie Review

No-budget noirish crime/romance set in the swampy, low-rent Florida area between Miami and the Everglades. Uncaring and frankly dumb housewife/mom Cozy (Lisa Bowman) hooks up with the boozing Lee Ray (Larry Fessenden) and the dim duo take an illegal dip in a private pool. Cozy manages to fire off Lee's gun and thinks she hit a man who suddenly appeared. Not bothering to find out if this is true, they decide to hole up in a motel until they can figure out what to do. You won't really care but director Kelly Reichardt does have a way with visuals, so things aren't a total loss.
