AWOL is the story of Joey, a teenage tomboy. She's given a way out of her rural hometown with the army, but everything changes when she meets Rayna...

AWOL is such an honest film, that when you watch it you effortlessly breathe and feel with its main characters. This is due to director Deb Shoval's remarkable ability to submerge you in a small Pennsylvania coal town, and to actresses Lola Kirke's and Breeda Wool's fearless performances as Joey and Rayna. It is an intimate look at the lives of those who don't often grace the silver screen: soldier recruits, wives, closeted lesbians, and rural American families. AWOL is poignant, guarded, raw- like Joey and Rayna's relationship. Watching it will make you more compassionate, more understanding, and somehow more human.

I was actively rooting against the relationship.

Couldn't even finish it. Watch if you like watching people make stupid mistakes for people who will never change.

An authentic, important and moving piece of independent filmmaking

I have been following the progress of this film, eagerly anticipating its release. From the opening sequence, through to the final frame I was invested in the characters journey and the underlining themes of the story. Authentic directing from Shoval helped create space for the characters to build, only cutting and moving the camera when necessary. The queerness of the characters is not made out to be the central theme of the film, however, the love story is genuine. Kirke delivers an emotive performance that reflects a relatable, yet painful depiction of the reckless nature of a first love.

Depressing movie...

... paired with a boring story line that many other movies used before. Sorry but really bad to watch.

This is Joey's film

Joey shines. I wanted more from her and to a certain level, it performed. The rest of it was rather predictable. This movie should have been named Joey. She carries the film. Everything else is rather predictable in lesbian movies. Her main love interest is stuck in a loveless marriage and etc. What I do like is that it takes the extra effort to affirm a lesbian relationship in the early 2000s in the USA and Joey is here for it (for better or worse). I'm here for Joey, she is the star and the reason to watch this film.

Citazioni
Joey: There was this horse, and it was going blind. It had this big field to wander around him, but it always just stayed right close to near this other horse. Turns out the other horse had a bell around its neck and the blind horse followed this horse wherever it went. They became almost inseparable. Just the sound of it was enough.
Rayna: So, what are you saying that I am... lost and you're gonna show me the way? Or am I the horse with a bell?
