It was sad, also very good ending.
Robbie Pickering had its World Premiere at SXSW where it was well-received and earned several awards. It is sort of an odd film about the struggles of damaged people. Natural Selection could be described as partially a critique of fundamentalist religion, part road trip film, and part human tragedy. http://ginq.com

Natural Selection mixes elements of "Transamerica" and the recent "Higher Ground" to tell the story of how a God-fearing fortysomething woman found the greatest love of all. Full Review

The results are often comical, but Pickering who made the film in tribute to his mother, the real Linda White - imbues them with faith in something, maybe dignity, maybe love, maybe just the simple human urge to keep on moving. Full Review

Variety
This filmed-in-Texas road movie finds a smooth groove between self-conscious quirkiness and broadly played farce. Full Review

The film works because what it documents is less a transformation and more a return to a former, more natural state for its troubled protagonist. Full Review
