River of Grass

River of Grass (1995) is Kelly Reichardt's feature debut — stream it online on iFILM. Reichardt went on to make Wendy and Lucy and First Cow; this is where it started. A restless Florida housewife named Cozy meets Lee at a bar, one gunshot goes off, and both of them panic — convinced they've just killed someone — and run.

No car chase, no open road. The money runs out almost immediately, the destination is never clear, and neither of them can quite explain what they're fleeing. Reichardt keeps it stripped: no score, no dramatic arc, just the slow humid weight of a bad decision in South Florida. Seventy-six minutes, one gun, and quietly unsettling all the way through.
