Trouble in Mind

About This Movie

Trouble in Mind is a real gem from '85, blending comedy, crime, and drama in a way that feels both quirky and grounded. The film dives into the lives of its characters against the backdrop of Rain City, which is almost a character in itself—dark, moody, yet somehow inviting. The pacing gives you room to breathe, letting you absorb the atmosphere and the oddball interactions between the ex-con, the coffee-shop owner, and the ambitious young couple. It’s not flashy, but the performances convey a raw authenticity that pulls you in. Plus, there's a certain charm in its practical effects. It’s one of those films that sticks with you because of its unique vibe and the way it captures the essence of its time.
