Two friends named Gerry become lost in the desert after taking a wrong turn. Their attempts to find their way home only lead them into further trouble.
Top critics, in their words
The two stars...[Casey Affleck and Matt Damon]...both playing characters named Gerry, wander across the desert for some reason, and if you enjoy watching them on any pretext, you'll probably enjoy this; if you don't, you won't.
If you can get lost along with it, Van Sant's Gerry is actually anything but empty: At times it's tonically liberating.
Fascinating, even if perversely so, and quite beautiful.
If nothing else, Gerry is restful, though I'm not sure that counts as a recommendation.
Now we know what happens when director Gus Van Sant gets bored. He makes us bored.
