THE STORY: Night, cold, a bus stop in Kingston, New York. A woman waits. A boy comes up.
“Mr. Linklater writes tart, often friskily funny dialogue. All three characters are effectively drawn with sharp contours…[Their] antagonism gives way to a growing sense of camaraderie in their mutual acceptance of life’s sadness, and the long, inescapable shadow of mortality.” —The New York Times.
“Wistful…It’s about the unbreakable bond between life and death and the little pleasures and huge hurts along the way…Linklater could take the narrative anywhere. He leads it to the Twilight Zone.” —New York Daily News.
“Intimate…dryly funny…[with] a final twist that lands halfway between O. Henry and M. Night Shyamalan.” —New York Post.
