A woman travels to Alabama to get what’s left of her grandparent’s estate. Her only inheritance is a sword that may have ended the Civil War in the South’s favor (as a group of conspiracy theorists believe). She and her wife visit a pawnshop (run by Marc Maron) and the low-key misadventure begins. The cast is full of familiar faces and they do an OK job with what feels like lots of improvised dialogue. If it isn’t, then co-writer/director Lynn Shelton didn’t make the interactions sufficiently interesting to provide a fulfilling experience. There are elements of quirk in its low-budget approach that hold promise and make it mildly appealing.
