It's something we are primed for and that's part of the natural order. Mostly, I just didn't care about this protagonist. There are a lot of meandering, banal conversations. Much of the dialogue was unscripted, apparently, and it shows. We don't learn much of anything about the main character other than her grandmother died, which, sure, is something to grieve over, especially if she had a large role in raising you, but still, isn't a dramatic conflict on which to hang an entire movie. This film never feels like it gets out of her head. Any of this could be used to craft a relatable, more universal narrative that would resonate with audiences, but Maltz doesn't do that here. In the movie, the main character is traveling from Minnesota to Texas to stand in the same spot as her recently deceased grandmother did in a cherished photo.
She was inspired by her own experiences driving across the country as a lone female, and the fear and exhilaration that experience made her feel.
I saw the writer/director of "The Unknown Country," Morissa Maltz, talk about her film after a showing at Chicago's Music Box Theater.
