| User ReviewRay EI was lucky enough to have Turner Ross at my screening to shed some insight into this gorgeous view of nine months in the life of Sidney, Ohio. Culminated from over 500 hours of footage and edited with a craftsman's touch, "45365" gives you a rare glimpse into the characteristics of many of the town's residents. The filmmakers, brothers Bill and Turner Ross grew up in this town and even after a lengthy stay away from it, are still given access to the bland and at times very personal moments in this small midwestern town. The film's visuals which range from poorly lit backseats to some of the lovliest images I have seen in a documentary in quite a while. You hear names repeated but the goal here is not a person by person analysis but a in depth portrait of the town as a whole. Their are moments that seem to stray into mockery but they are always matched by the residents genuine emotions and language. An astonishing debut from the Ross brothers. |
