Miranda July's sublime, off-the-wall comedy stars an almost unrecognizable Debra Winger, (she's become the new Ruth Gordon), and Richard Jenkins as the world's seemingly two worst petty criminals, Evan Rachel Wood as their sullen, withdrawn daughter known only as Old Dolio and a superb Gina Rodriguez as the Puerto Rican girl they recruit or rather who recruits them.
Being a Miranda July picture you know this won't conform to other movies about crime or criminals. It's very funny in an almost surreal fashion and its LGBT subplot fits perfectly into the scenario. It's also surprisingly touching and while it may not appeal to a multiplex crowd it's still a little gem that has cult movie written all over it.
