It’s coming up on two years since Restless was first announced as Gus Van Sant’s follow-up to Milk (click here to learn how Bryce Dallas Howard planted the seed for its development), and while its film reels might be covered in a layer of dust from sitting on the shelf for so long, boutique box office prospects seem bright. Ish. After all, Restless looks like the (500) Days of Summer-y twee romance that recent bomb The Art of Getting By only wished it could be!
Mia Wasikowska and Henry Hopper (Dennis’s son) star as the doomed lovers in this Harold and Maude by way of Wes Anderson by way of Love Story love story. When the film debuted at Cannes earlier this year, Movieline’s Stephanie Zacharek wrote that Restless achieves a “heartfelt absurdity.” Judging from the part of the trailer where Hopper’s Enoch gets punched by the ghost of a Kamikaze pilot, that sounds about right.
Restless is due in theaters this September.
VERDICT: Fidgetwee.
