Synopsis

Near the Everglades, the "river of grass," lives Cozy (named for her father's favorite drummer), lonely, in a loveless marriage, ignoring her kids. She fantasizes being a dancer, an acrobat, and a gymnast.

One night at a bar she meets Lee. He's jobless, homeless, and unbeknownst to Cozy, is in possession of her father's handgun. Dad's a cop and lost the gun chasing a robber.

Cozy and Lee climb a fence to swim in a pool. Playing around with the gun, they think they kill the pool's owner, so they go on the lam. An odd partnership develops even though they're short on ideas.

But how can they escape their barren lot if they don't even have a quarter for the road toll?

User reviews

Laura Smith
6/10

The use of music in key moments, such as when Cozy and Lee climb the fence to swim in the pool, adds a layer of tension and uncertainty to the scene. The soundtrack helps to build suspense and keeps the audience engaged in the characters' reckless actions.

Betty Martin
4/10

Secondly, the choice of songs and instrumental pieces seemed disconnected from the setting and characters of the film. The music did not enhance the atmosphere or immerse me further into the world of the Everglades and the characters' struggles. It felt out of place and distracted from the overall viewing experience.

Edward Young
3/10

I found the soundtrack of River of Grass to be quite disappointing for a few reasons. First, the music lacked depth and emotional resonance, failing to effectively capture the complex emotions and themes of the film. It felt like a generic background noise rather than a meaningful addition to the storytelling.

Betty Davis

John Hernandez
7/10

Overall, the soundtrack of River of Grass is a standout feature of the film, adding another layer of storytelling through its evocative and memorable compositions.

Nancy Thompson
7/10

The use of instruments like guitars and harmonicas creates a sense of Americana that enhances the film's setting and mood.

Michelle White
5/10

Overall, the musical choices in River of Grass contribute to the mood and tone of the film, creating a sense of desperation and lost opportunities that mirror the characters' own feelings of being trapped in their circumstances.

Kimberly Turner
6/10

The soundtrack of River of Grass effectively captures the desolate and aimless atmosphere of the characters' lives near the Everglades. The music enhances the sense of loneliness and longing that Cozy and Lee experience in their loveless and directionless existence.
