All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt


I really wanted to like Raven Jackson's All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt, but boy oh boy is it boring. It looks cool visually, and probably would have been successful as a short film. But mostly this is trying to do a sort of Terrence Malick thing (but with only a whisper of a screenplay) or perhaps a Tsai Ming-Liang thing (but without the commitment to a still camera). Either way I was bored. And I’m afraid the movie really takes us nowhere.
