It's a movie with two characters just talking inside a vehicle. And it's great. 

I love these small movies that have characters immersed in conversations throughout. It's riveting. 

And guess what, Dakota Johnson, an actress which I thought shouldn't be this famous, has finally won me over. Her performance here carried the story because, out of the two, she was the one with more complexities. 

Sean Penn was great as usual. And I'm surprised this was the movie that he chose to do that was significant enough to come into my radar. I have not seen him in years while he focused on smaller projects.

The ending in this dragged on for a bit too long but still, it was satisfying to watch.
