"Minor" is a movie that I came across on iTunes. As I was watching it, I felt kinda bored. When it ended, I was just like "Um, OK." The movie is sorta like "The Brown Bunny" meets "Frank" (2014), except without the quirkiness in "Frank" and the explicit sex in "The Brown Bunny". Luckily, "Minor" is only about 70 minutes. I think it might've been much better if it was a short film.
The film is about two young female musicians who travel from Niagara Falls to Nevada in a stolen limousine. I'm not sure why they had to travel in a limo. Because it's a unique way to go on a long road trip? The limo isn't some kinda metaphor, is it? Regarding these two girls, I felt pretty indifferent to them. They just travel, perform, argue a bit, etc. Like "The Brown Bunny", there isn't much dialogue in the film. At one point, the two of them are on foot in a desert and I was reminded of "Gerry" (2002). There are a few times when they mention people's names, but I didn't know who they were talking about. For example, while they're in the limo, one of them yells, "F**k you, David!" Who's David? Well, according to the end credits, there *is* a character named David and he's played by the film's writer/director, but I don't remember that character being in the film. Was he the one they stole the limo from? Near the end, someone else steals the limo and then one of the girls is suddenly on a beach and goes swimming. Blood apparently comes out of her vagina and I think she becomes devastated. What happened? Was she menstruating?
There's a decent amount of music in "Minor" and it's... OK. There's nothing memorable. Some of the shots in the film look pretty nice. There are times when the video and the sound aren't very good, but mostly, the film looks and sounds fine. The acting is passable, but the characters are forgettable. The film is dedicated to "all of the nobodies". So... people like me? If so... thanks?
