See the films the platforms disagree about most →A naive teenage girl living in a dead-end town is swept off her feet by a charismatic, nihilistic garbage collector. After he murders her father, they embark on a fugitive journey across the South Dakota badlands. She narrates their crime spree with a detached, romanticized innocence, while he remains coolly detached from his violent actions. Their path is a dreamlike and violent exploration of disaffected youth and the myth of the American outlaw.
