Good review, Justin. I completely agree with this point:

"Although the 4 women introduced are distinctive and have their own voices, the writing does tend to steer towards stereotypes. For example, Frances Conroys unhappy realtor seemingly stuck in a loveless marriage harks back to American Beauty or Tilda Swintons abrasive redneck character that ends up getting Don socked in the eye. Through Jarmuschs episodic style of narrative, each encounter does not precede anything more than whats on view and we are left with incomplete shards of characters that dont transcend its clichs."

Also, Bill Murray was wonderful, indeed. While overall I prefer Lost in Translation, this film featured his career-best performance.
