She fantasizes being a dancer, an acrobat, and a gymnast. One night at a bar she meets Lee. He’s jobless, homeless, and unbeknownst to Cozy, is in possession of her father’s handgun. Dad’s a cop and lost the gun chasing a robber. Cozy and Lee climb a fence to swim in a pool. Playing around with the gun, they think they kill the pool’s owner, so they go on the lam. An odd partnership develops even though they’re short on ideas. But how can they escape their barren lot if they don’t even have a quarter for the road toll?.
Plot: Cozy, a dissatisfied housewife, meets Lee at a bar. A drink turns into a home break-in, and a gunshot sends them on the run together, thinking they’ve committed murder.

Cinema Omnivore – River of Grass (1994) 6.9/10
“But Reichardt sets out to be a contrarian, RIVER OF GRASS – whose title is a nickname of Everglades, the obverse of the sun-drenched, littoral Florida – is bent on pinpointing the ennui and doom embroiling those who feel trapped, unable to find meaning in their existence. No passion is consumed between Cozy and Lee (projecting a sharp suspicion of Lee’s impotence), their high-tailing plan is thwarted simply because they cannot pay the turnpike toll (how ironic?), and the shooting accident turns out to be non-fatal. Cozy and Lee is a mismatched pair tethered together under false circumstances and to conclude the movie, Reichardt takes out Cozy’s frustration with a bang, the only time a coup de théâtre comes up in the trinity, unexpected but resounding, it is also Reichardt giving a piece of her feminist mind to the white-trash primitivity. RIVER OF GRASS adumbrates her potentiality and sensibility (like the way she elicits racial injustice and defies racial stereotype, for example) as a filmmaker with a difference, unfortunately she is way ahead of her time.”

Going nowhere special
As a counterpoint to Thelma and Louise and Badlands, this is the unromanticised, pathetic cry for attention and escape. Two anonymous casualties of society unintentionally crash and burn their way through the suburban sprawl of the Florida wetlands, an ecological miracle now supposedly re-claimed for twentieth century progress. Except their crashing and burning barely gets them out of their home state such is their ineptitude and powerlessness. Even with a real and yet symbolic gun they still can’t capture that dream; inept burglaries, and an accidental shooting all they can muster. In the city they’d descend into an underworld of disease and drugs but in the wide recovered flats of the Everglades there isn’t a subculture they can lose themselves in. Kelly Reichardt’s minimal style, long takes and static camera just emphasises their hopelessness. There’s no cathartic cliff to drive off at the end just a slow moving highway going nowhere special.
