The story was quite interesting to me. After having seen some rather poor quality movies where the sole idea in the movie revolved around money or simple action, it was nice to come across this one as I await some of the movies to come out online for 2018.
The story focuses on a small motel, beautifully painted, near the Disney park. World?Land? Don't know, don't care.
The two central themes are the struggles that some people face, while still being able to enjoy their existence. It shows the human aspect of poverty. It does highlight how hard it is for some, and the serious dangers there are in society where many gray areas exist.
The other theme, after the economic disparity, is the idea of responsibility. It is very clearly pointed out when Dafoe is confronted on two occasions. If you watch the film, you will understand the importance and the disconnect, though it isn't clearly stated.
The constant shifts do make the movie worth watching. The end is a bit out-of-whack. Make of it what you want. Beats reality. The acting is believable. The accents are a bit annoying, which make it a bit hard to pick up at times.
All in all, would suggest watching it if you are looking for a good standalone film.
