A sprawling, Los Angeles-set, somewhat self-consciously multi-ethnic drama of struggling immigrants from writer-director Yong Mun Chee, Where the Road Meets the Sun is a movie which means well, in unspooling its story of hard-knock, off-the-grid America, and both the unique opportunities and special perils that presents for those with headstrong dispositions. Unfortunately, despite some relaxed, inviting performances — including from Luke Brandon Field and Laura Ramsey (above) — the film repeatedly identifies plausibility as an enemy, and never truly locates a compelling enough through-line to hook and pull an audience through from beginning to end.
