Down in the Valley

On a trip to the beach, a teenage girl named Tobe meets a charismatic stranger named Harlan, who dresses like a cowboy and claims to be a former ranch hand. The pair feel an instant attraction and begin a relationship, but her father, a lawman, is suspicious of her lover.
**Too much going on overall and not enough at the same time. Definitely a miss.**
Unfortunately due to bad pacing and a lack of meaningful character building, understanding the motivations of each character is quite difficult towards the midpoint. Much of the film explores the romance between Harlan and Tobe, while not enough time is spent hinting at what might be going on for each of the characters and why.
