Goofs:
Errors in geography: Early in the film, they are on Hwy 30 near the St. Johns Bridge, driving in the direction of Astoria, which is AWAY from the hot springs they are going to. Then suddenly, inexplicably, they're in Colton, and heading towards the hot springs.

I really loved it. (Will Oldham did a great job, but even without him I would have loved it.) The only thing I disliked were a few of the scenery shots from their car, which got a little long. At the same time, they set a nice mood for the trip the protaggies were taking, and Yo La Tengo hovered sweetly right along with them. The dialog was marvelous. The acting was excellent (on both counts) and subtle. It was funny. It was thoughtful without being pretentious. It was not dogmatic, but it put forth some sweet poetic images and ideas in a raw, natural, unassuming way. It was drenched in duende. I really identified with it. I hope I can get my hands on a copy one day. It had a few tiny faults, but It was endearing and honest. There were no earth-shattering answers, just very subtle resolutions for both characters. It felt familiar.
