_**Evan Rachel Wood is angelic in this quirky Indie road movie**_
The black sheep loser of an affluent family (Scott Speedman) is forced to mop floors at a mental facility while on probation wherein he meets an angelic patient (Evan Rachel Wood). He takes her to Louisiana to meet his family and misadventures ensue. Treat Williams plays the dad and J.K. Simmons the director of the asylum.
"Barefoot" (2014) is an entertaining enough romcom misadventure and part-road movie. Wood is stunning in an innocent, celestial way, but needs to eat some hamburgers. There’s a Prodigal Son angle and the movie leaves you with a warm feeling despite some debaucheries in the first half.
The film runs 1 hour, 30 minutes, and was shot entirely in Louisiana.
GRADE: B-
