Plot: Campbell Scott directed this offbeat comedy drama about a free-thinking family who find themselves confronted by the more regimented outside world. Bo Groden (Valentina d'Angelis) is an 11-year-old girl growing up as part of a decidedly eccentric family in a small town in New Mexico. Bo's father, Charley (Sam Elliott), has fallen into a deep depression for reasons no one can understand, while her mother, Arlene (Joan Allen), holds the household together, raising most of their food in her vegetable garden, which she prefers to tend in the nude. Bo, meanwhile, satisfies her sweet tooth by writing candy companies claiming to have had problems with their products, which usually results in a box of fresh goodies. While the Grodens get by through living within simple means, one day an Internal Revenue Agent appears at their door, wanting to know why the family hasn't paid income tax for several years -- and not believing there has been no appreciable income for so many years. Off the Map was screened in competition at the {~2003 Sundance Film Festival}. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Georgia O'keeffe lives through William Gibbs in "Off The Map"

Any time I have a desire to be transported to the high desert of New Mexico and spend some time in contemplation of my own life and where I am in it,I watch Off the Map.
For me it is a transforming experience. Joan Allen gives her usual yummy fantastic performance,Jim True-Frost tears it up as William Gibbs,and Sam Elliot,Valentina De Angelis and J.K Simmons all give stellar performances.Even Amy Brenneman's cameo is thought provoking,I would love to see the Joan Ackerman play someday. Campbell Scott did it up right,I am sure some people move to New Mexico because of this flick.

One of my favorite movies. It is easy but not simple. Beautiful shots and the story but is deep and moving. The acting is the best.
You wont forget it.

Great Indy Film
Added 1/3/2009

If you haven't seen this film, see it. It's a keeper. I will tell you now, however, it's a little slow to start and more than a little quirky. It may not appeal to younger people for these reasons. No car chases.. nor big explosions..or small ones for that matter. There is some bad language. Stick to it, as the movie begins to evolve when the tax man enters the plot. A wonderful film with great acting and actors.

So-so

This movie was kind of pleasant, the scenery and the glimpse into New Mexico hippie life, but it put me to sleep, and I agree that the precocious girl was a bit annoying.
