A kinda sorta 70s romance between a 15 year old hustler and a 25 year old woman not quite sure where she's going, this meanders a lot (none of the big three guest stars, Penn, Waits or Cooper are essential to the plot, they're all diversions), and wins a lot of points on the ugliness of Gary's shirts and the capturing of a sense of how relationships between men and women were perceived in its period compared to now. I do wish it had just a little more narrative drive and focus but then it wouldn't be the enjoyable wallow that it is
