Notes on Individual Scenes
-----------------------------

 

I saw this film, I think on September 5, 2025 at the Tower Theater in Sacramento, CA. I was curious about it, because it was mostly filmed in Albuquerque and the Los Lunas/Belen area, representing Bakersfield, California. This is a smart, detective-style movie rewritten with a lesbian plot. The movie is reasonably entertaining, but it suffers a little. Surprisingly, it needs more of a femme fatale. It has some other femmes - notably Chere - but not that special, unique character of the femme fatale. (Maybe Chere is that character in a sequel?)
