Deidra & Laney Rob a Train

" Netflix- 1hr. 32min. First Viewing While it does resemble something of a Y/A version of a Coen Brothers movie, Deidra & Laney Rob a Train is able to infuse enough wit and style of its own to stand on its own two legs. The writing is solid and the filmmaking is too, its well-paced and properly energized, but the film belongs to its cast, specifically its leads. Ashleigh Murray and Rachel Crow are so charming and assured in their characters that even had the script been crap, the film still would"

It had a few interesting cast members I knew of as well as some I've never heard of. It's only the second film from Sydney Freeland, but it's the first I have heard of. For the writer Shelby Farrell this is her only credit so far. So from the look of things it seems like a comedy. Time to see rather than assume.
