RSynopsis
The Motel Life (2013) is a low-key American drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by brothers Alan and Gabe Polsky. It adapts Willy Vlautin's debut novel — a quiet, bruising story set in the Nevada winter.
Frank (Emile Hirsch) and Jerry Lee (Stephen Dorff) are brothers who share a motel room and a lifetime of bad luck. One night Jerry Lee is drunk behind the wheel, a cyclist is dead, and the two are running — no plan, no money, nothing but each other. Dakota Fanning plays Annie, the woman Frank once loved and walked away from, and Kris Kristofferson appears as someone who's seen enough to understand without asking.
The film's most distinctive touch is its hand-drawn animation: Frank tells stories through sketches since childhood, and those drawings come alive on screen. Stream The Motel Life (2013) online on iFILM.
