“Fool for Love is a western for our time. We watch a pair of figurative gunslingers fight to the finish---not with bullets, but with piercing words that give ballast to the weight of a nation's buried dreams.” --- Frank Rich, New York Times

Summary - In a motel room on the edge of the Mojave Desert, May and Eddie, two estranged lovers, engage in a modern-day showdown of biting words, dark memories and torn egos, ultimately revealing an undying love that has long been tangles in a forbidden secret.
