Highdee Kuan and Jake Manley star in this robbery turned dadaesque odyssey into the town of Redville. The screenplay accomplishes an earnest, though brief, exploration of the tension between commitment and desire, while also delivering a sort of cabinet of curiosities provided by the quirky residents of Redville. Manley delivers a solid performance as an archetypal bad boy with a rough past, while the absurdity of the plot keeps this portrayal from being overbearing. Kuan portrays a more low-key and down-to-earth Bonny to Manley's Clyde, which functions well in the more rooted first act, though she is somewhat left behind by the rapid succession of events in the second. Overall, Welcome to Redville sets out to present the set piece of a weird small town propelling a story about a relationship entering a new phase of its growth. Director Isaac Eaton hits the mark in this campy film on a small budget.
