Synopsis

Kate, a depressed thirty-something who unsuccessfully attempts suicide by slitting her wrists. Reflecting briefly upon her circumstance in the hospital, she realizes that nothing has been solved, whereupon she vacates the premises, wearing nothing but a hospital gown, a black coat, and flimsy sandals. Shortly thereafter, at a bus station, she requests from the attendant a bus ticket to wherever, with consideration to the limited funds she has to spare. The attendant insists on a destination, or even a direction - Kate spins about, points, and says, "that way". The story then evolves to include Barry Tubb, her love interest, who rekindles her will to live.

Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Listonixio Fresh and Exciting
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
groanboxcoma This dreamy movie, I feel is so uncredited and unnoticed or not given enough credit. It may not be appreciated by many people because there are so many existing films similar to it (e.g. Wild at Heart). But, don't let that get in your way. I found this very similar to such films as 'Blue Velvet', 'Wild at Heart', 'Mulholland Drive', 'Lost Highway' and it strangely is reminiscent of 'Requiem for a Dream'. It's essentially an intense, beautiful, erotic love story. The moods' it creates are very carnal, passionate, melancholy, desperate and dream-like/surreal. I can definitely see the similarities to 'Monster's Ball'. All in all, it's a good but very overlooked film. For fans of depressing love stories and Lynch films, this will be very appealing.
srhite Something about this movie has always haunted me. Kelly Lynch is suicidal for one reason and that is that she has to deal with the realit of her life. The other guy just can't face reality. It isn't about sex, it's about despair and dealing with one's life. Each character is running from his own reality. It's something most of us deal with every single day of our lives.It isn't a film for the masses, or maybe that is what all the nudity and sex was for! There were a couple memorable lines. One was something about Kelly Lynch explaining that she is only a secretary. The other was when Kelly Lynch is told that the crime was stealing a car and not murder.
Sergey Goldgaber Barbie is sad. Ken is sad. Together they are happy, and Kenteaches Barbie to love life.The pretentious script, constantly sounding like it's impartingpop-psychology wisdom is made doubly silly when it comes out inmonologues from such incompetent actors, who can't even beconvincing in the less-demanding, non-verbal, gratuitous sexscenes.Insipid, sappy, and shallow, Warm Summer Rain can't hold acandle to Ordinary People, to which it had been favorablycompared. The themes are also completely different, with theexception of the theme of suicide.Avoid at all costs. 2/10
BrianCDavis I disagree that this movie is strictly a gratuitous sex film. I think it has a lot in common with American Beauty, in that it addresses how we choose to live our lives. In this case, they choose to have sex a lot, but that is not the point. The point is to deny the typical societal roles, and to live life however you want. The film has a lot of funny scenes, good dialogue, and a lot of David Lynch-style bizarre characters. Next to American Beauty, it is one of my favorite films. It is definitely a low-budget, intellectual, art-film, but worth watching if you enjoy intelligent filmmaking with a bit of humor.
