This movie was relaxing to watch, but oh so stupid. For instance, the man has this robot head that has no power because he has run out of batteries. So why doesn't he have a solar panel? Out there in the desert, a foldable panel would keep that head charged all the time. Then, what happens when the fire tablets in his little stove run out? Where's the nearest shop? Oh, there isn't one. Oops, no more boiled turnip. Let's starve! The man and the girl wandered across miles of dunes and often encountered rubbish. Who left all this rubbish? Did no one think of erecting a home-made sign saying "Take your rubbish home! Keep the desert tidy!" And a complete puzzle: What did all those flocks of birds at the crystal lake do all the time? Just fly around, land, catch some fish, fly around again? Another reviewer was pleased that the man wan't constantly trying to get into her pants, but he never showed the slightest inkling of wanting to, anyway. I was hoping the leaves Rola found might be an aphrodisiac of some sort, but no such luck. And finally, is it not boring to eat turnips for all eternity? Wouldn't a nice fried egg and bacon be a welcome change occasionally? Well, I suppose they did eat a fish from the crystal lake. The film was stupid from beginning to end, though very relaxing, and Julia Garner is always worth looking at.
