Directed by Gabe & Alan Polsky, based on the acclaimed book by Willy Vlautin, the film stars Hirsch and Stephen Dorff as brothers living on the margins in Reno, NV. Growing up learning to depend only on one another and their vast imaginations to escape reality, they face their greatest challenge when one is involved in a fatal accident. Some of the animated sequences don't seem to fit all that well, and we'll have to see if they work better in a fuller context.We also get a glimpse at Dakota Fanning as Hirsch's former girlfriend, proving once again just how quickly time flies.
The Motel Life will hit VOD and select theaters on November 8th.
