IMDb 6.6 RT 71%

Watch it if you're in the mood for a thoughtful, character-driven drama with genuine emotional weight—the 1950s Vegas backdrop and family dysfunction angle give it real substance. Just know it's a quiet, introspective film that won't blow you away, but it's worth your time for a reflective evening.

Plot

The story involves Rose Chismore's youth. She flashes back and remembers her coming-of-age. Her recollections are sometimes less than sweet, particularly those of her troubled and alcoholic step-father. Her memories of Robin, her first-love, are much happier and she also recalls her colorful Aunt Starr -- who's visit is fun but also detrimental to her family's health. The setting of 1950s Las Vegas' bomb testing is increasingly significant to the development of the story.
