Performances are similarly off-target, with Hemingway (daughter of Mariel) smoking and sulking her way through most of the film. Crucially, Litz misses almost every opportunity to build atmosphere and create suspense, or even a hint of heightened drama, rendering the tone of the film virtually somnambulistic throughout. Although the video shoot appears to be a fairly sizeable production, which includes scaffolding and a crane to lift Signe high into the air for an aerial sequence, there’s no indication that Jamie actually is a rock star or any evidence of a supporting band. Litz’s numerous missteps become obvious almost from the outset, when she fails to provide any background on Sweetpea (or her nickname), her relationship with Jamie or any justification for why someone would travel to a remote location halfway around the world to end a clearly troubled relationship. Then an unexpected tragedy reveals some disturbing context for Jamie’s disappearance, leading Sweetpea to question her previous assumptions about her errant boyfriend. When her search proves fruitless, she becomes suspicious that the cast and crew may know something that they’re not telling her (although nobody mentions the forest’s ominous reputation), but her repeated interrogations don’t turn up any leads.

Mak (Jai Tatsuto West), the only English-speaker among them, reluctantly assists Sweetpea in looking for Jamie, a process that consists mostly of roaming through the nearby forest without any specific plan.
