About This Movie

Provo (2022) is an interesting mix, blending comedy with drama and a touch of Western vibe. The film dives into the messy life of its protagonist, a self-destructive ex-Mormon who’s on this road trip to confront her past. It’s not just about the journey but the emotional weight she carries, especially with her estranged father being on his deathbed. The pacing is kind of reflective, giving you space to feel the awkwardness and tension between her and her current friend-with-benefits. There’s a rawness to the performances that feels genuine, making the character's struggle resonate. The setting of Provo, Utah feels almost palpable, adding a distinctive backdrop to her personal reckoning. It's definitely not your typical road movie.
