Unconformity

A heartwarming story for both geology fans and non geology fans. Longing for a career defining discovery, she escapes to the desert and realizes the true value of self reliance. A quiet yet intimate movie with lots of panoramic and breathtaking landscape shots.

This story combines an expansive landscape with an intimate cast and portrays the struggle of a talented and driven young geologist who seeks academic achievement.

She's living in a 'me first' world where there are no rules other than the ones made by those who hold the power. The portrayal of the antagonists in this movie is stunningly accurate, as I've encountered many of them in my working experience. The 'me first' crowd view character traits like trust, honor, and personal dignity as weaknesses to be exploited. Lying and cheating aren't evils, they're useful tools.

At the core, this movie is all about character, or the lack thereof. What personal sacrifice will you pay to achieve your goals, and what price will be exacted from you by your peers if you choose to play by the rules?

Watch this movie for the landscapes, and for the journey of personal discovery. You won't be disappointed.

I had doubts going into this movie because it's about a geologist, but the characters and beautiful scenery drew me in. I won't spoil the opening, but by the time Alex heads to the desert i was in her corner for obvious reasons, and I was intrigued by her growing relationship with jack mulhern's character nick. It turns out the geology and ranching storylines were actually pretty interesting and i did not see the ending coming. Worth checking out.

I'm generally not a big indie movie fan. But the story was nice, the acting was really good, and so was the music. Plus lots of beautiful shots of the desert. If you like this sort of movie, I think you'll like this one.

The scenery and the music are amazing and the overall feel of the film is solidly wistful and hopeful. There is a twist at the beginning that really got me invested in the movie and Alex's response to that and her growth and recovery were very moving. The ending was a surprise too but a very good one, and I was really startled at how good the depiction of academia was. Lots of tense moments but it was really refreshing to see a movie with a female lead that didn't rely on exploiting her trauma to make a plotline develop.
