The movie was shot on sixteen-millimetre film, which, when blown up to thirty-five millimetres, [yields] a slightly soft-focus look, a punk-lyrical aesthetic of beauty struggling to emerge from the chrysalis of [ugliness]. 

The camera is [perched] over Bud’s shoulder as he drives, and we see the road markers endlessly approaching and disappearing, and the landscapes falling away—the bluesy visions, half monotonous, half mesmerizing, of an insomniac driving beyond need, or reason, into the sunset. The movie, in its surly way, casts a spell. 

Bud eventually arrives in Los Angeles, where, in a now notorious scene, he is fellated by Daisy in a motel room.

Will he last? Can he "grow"? The signs are not good. By resisting collaboration in a collaborative medium, Gallo has limited himself to the most proudly solipsistic subjects. The lonely-guy-on-the-road movie may be one of the few kinds of movies anyone could make essentially on his own, and no one, I would guess, is longing for sequels set in motels and rowboats.
