“We went to San Francisco. We went to the courthouse and got married right in front of Harvey Milk’s bust. It was her idea like all good things are, and she was just driving and she saw the courthouse and she said, ‘We should get married there,’ and I said, ‘Cool, I’m down.'”

Lena continued:

“It was a humbling day, you know, to marry someone so amazing,”

The film already has received a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It has not yet been shown to the critics. The film critic Todd Gilchrist of The Wrap said:

“Not only reframes an outlaws-on-the-run story in thrillingly contemporary, culturally relevant terms but also finds a way to do so that combines bracing honesty about a hostile world with lyrical beauty about the relationships that make it endurable,”

The Hollywood Reporter critic Sheri Linden said:

“It’s a road movie that’s timely — the plot reverberates with recent news stories, heartrending and enraging — but also untethered from headlines or the calendar, unfolding in a dreamscape defined by love and community, empowerment and the art of survival,”
