Set in the Mojave Desert, the film follows a broken-down comedian playing clubs across the Southwest, working his way to Los Angeles to meet his estranged daughter.
My review · Reviewed 09/16/2025
The good news: this film does an amazing job of showing how miserable an entertainer is in his job and his life.
The bad news: this film does an amazing job of making the audience feel the exact same way.
I get the idea behind uncomfortable comedy, and in small doses, it can work. But a whole movie of it? Not a chance.
