A young woman, Katherine, steps out for the morning newspaper and keeps walking. Wearing only her robe and slippers, she gets in her car and drives away, leaving behind her husband, Matthew, and their comfortable life in San Francisco. While Matthew tries to find her, Katherine hides away in a house on the water on Tomales Bay. Two drifters befriend her: Jake, who operates a herring boat on the bay, and Rich, a graduate school drop-out, his only crew. Jake and Rich develop a fascination for the mysterious Katherine, and their rivalry grows increasingly tense. Back home in San Francisco, Katherine's single friend, Claire, tries to console Matthew, and he reveals his deepest fear that Katherine has left him. When the tensions between Jake and Rich reach a breaking point, Rich's lies and Jake's ugly history come to the surface. A violent night reveals hard truths, long hidden, for all of them, including Katherine. In the light of day, Matthew heads north in a last effort to find his wife...

Review :

I thought it was great

I really liked this movie. As mentioned in other comments, it was a nicely unfolding mystery. No one beat you over the head with the plot, and unlike most current movies, you have no idea where the story is going in the first three minutes. I like that.

I also thought that the film had a nice Lynch-like, or even Hitchcock-ish quality: some great sweeping shots, really nice cinematography, good acting (personally I'm tired of super slick production, quick cuts, and shiny happy people without depth).

Although none of these films could be put in the same genre by anyone but me probably, I thought it had much of the qualities of films I like that don't have to be supershiny and perfect such as Vampiros Lesbos, Diva, The House on Haunted Hill, 400 Blows, and a dash of Withnail and I.

This film doesn't rush, it nicely unfolds and was a nice surprise.
