"Niagra, Niagra" begins quietly in a drugstore in Poughkeepsie, where Marcie, the film's disarming heroine, likes to shoplift. She literally crashes into Seth, a quiet outsider, also on a shoplifting spree. Marcie invites Seth to accompany her to Canada to find a black hairstyling head. They set off in Seth's beat-up station wagon, destined for a toy store in Toronto. While on the road, Marcie confides to Seth that she has Tourette's syndrome, necessitating a series of detours to liquor stories and pharmacies along the roads of upstate New York.
My review · Reviewed 04/03/2021
I think that both of the leads in this movie were excellent in portraying their character's shortcomings. That said, I just never felt that connected to them or their collective story. While they came together because of a shared bad start to life I really didn't care much about their journey nor was I particularly moved by the ending.
