The saying that things can only get better doesn't apply to these two, as their increasingly remote location only adds to the already challenging situation.

My comments: I love United States of Tara and Toni Collette! To be honest has she not been in this movie I would have overlooked it and the description doesn't even begin to accurately describe all of this film. First of all Toni Collette has an Aussie accent.
It's true they are stranded and ready to kill each other but through all the challenges they become lovers and the story has a heart wrenching ending leaving you thinking, "wow".
The first 30 minutes are kinda boring. I really enjoyed the movie and want to say more but don't want to spoil it. If you like romantic drama's you'll enjoy this film.
