Bluntly, the film exhibits the casual, unthinking racism that pervades America; it's not just in the explicitly wielded racial slur but also in the attitudes. Even Shade, no matter her feelings for Javier, is apologetic about her friends' racism, is quick to ignore Javier's…

ShreyanshDec 6, 2020Would it be too niche of a Halloween costume to dress-up as Fairuza Balk cosplaying as Olivia Newton-John in an attempt to seduce a gay man, orrrr

Revisited the film with the Arrow Video Blu-ray. Nostalgic rewatch. The score by J. Mascis (Dinosaur Jr.) is so 90's that just hearing a few notes brings me back. DIRECTOR-APPROVED SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS: - High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation, approved by…
Sean BakerApr 21, 2018I used to watch this in adolescence, around Fairuza's age probably, and connect so hard with the characters. Their trailer smelled like Salvation Army linens and Sui Dreams in a Butterfly Bottle, and paper and wax for the linoleum. Desert movies made in the West still…

shishu keemNov 14, 2020Daydreams and disappointments; romance and reality. The former feeds the latter—is often consumed by it. The only thing that keeps us going is hope. The past is pain, but the future is unwritten. Allison Anders’ film is a deeply soulful expression of this philosophy. Her…
AD917Mar 19, 2025A real dream come true to present this in 35mm at the Academy Museum and conduct a pre-screening Q&A with Allison Anders to kick off the LA leg of my book tour. As an angsty, flowy dress and hat wearing, movie theater junkie who grew up in the middle of nowhere and was in…

A lonely indie vibe. I loved Shade’s outfits so much. The end was sad (10-12-25)

Metacritic
There are subtly etched characters, effortlessly fine performances, and a moving story that is not easily forgotten.

The New York Times
Gas Food Lodging deals with issues, but its strength lies in the characters that struggle at the heart of the story. Anders has made this film far from the glitz of Hollywood and the money that comes with the limelight. Hopefully, for her next project, she'll be able to maintain the gritty quality which makes her debut such a memorable effort.
