Utterly untrusting of its ideas and its audience. Reichardt makes leap from intriguing-but-frustrating to off-putting.
VOR:②
Risk-taking seemed inevitable given nervy premise, but Reichardt dulls every edge while repeating many of her tics. Evades environmental politics at every turn. Plays it way safe, in other words.
