Gordon-11 This film tells the story of a man who is just released from jail in a small town. Though he promises to his mother that he will not mix with dubious peers and get into trouble with the law again, old habits die hard and things quickly spirals out of control.That is what I think the story is about anyway. I find the plot very boring, and it is poorly told. What is the point of seemingly random interviews with people who are not related to the story such as the dancer with crooked teeth, and the very thin man with a tattoo on his abdomen? They do not form a part of the story, and I don't see why they are shown in the film. The plot is not engaging or thrilling either. I do not care about the characters, even though they are seemingly in mild danger. I find this film boring and less than engaging.

Seth_Rogue_One The acting feels natural, they are all more or less believable in the parts they play so that's good.The story isn't particularly original though and fairly predictable, although instead of going the Hollywood route and squeezing out every emotion of every event the movie stays in a natural and low-key.If that's good or not is a matter of preference I suppose but in the end I didn't feel any emotional connection with any of the characters so that's where it fails IMO.To further the feeling of realism in the movie they have the occasional interview segments with real Dixieland people talking about various things every 10 minutes or so, which I thought was an okay idea but they did it a little too often if you ask me.

mjmeltzer You don't see many films like this one. The documentary mixed in adds an interesting depth and candidness as do the flashbacks. The angles used during the filming are also really well done. Faith Hill is originally from this area of Mississippi and it seems like this role could really help relaunch her acting career. On that note, I was impressed by all of the acting performances and the directing in general. I'm not familiar with this director, but it seems like big things are in store down the road. You can take away a good lesson from this film and it inspires hope while also leaving you grounded. So to summarize this is a very unique film, but I highly recommend it.

Molly Fritscher Great movie!!! Good work everyone who worked on this! Acting was great, the style of the filming, everything!! Loved it! I cried at the end such a great story and teaches a great lesson as well!! After I saw it, I went and told almost everyone I know to check it out ha-ha too good to not share with everyone!! One of my favorite things about the film is how they had flashbacks and people with real life experiences with drugs, jail, etc. this is a movie I would take my friends to see in the theater and that I would buy as well! I love how it's very different than most love stories/movies as well. Everyone did a wonderful job portraying their characters and putting all of this together to make this movie happen!! I really hope this movie does great!!!
