Full Plot Details

After a rough time working a night shift job in the city, Alvin is spending the summer on a remote two-man public works crew, painting lines on newly paved roads through what is a recently wildfire-ravaged region of Texas. He is camping along the way, living off the land, even doing so on his days off. He is what he considers a responsible man, earning and sending money to his girlfriend, Madison, a single mother, so that she need not concern herself with anything besides child rearing. The junior second that Alvin hires for his crew is Madison's brother, Lance. Alvin's controlling and judgmental nature comes to the surface in his dealings with more immature and irresponsible Lance, who goes back to the city on the weekends so that he can have "his little man squeezed", something he cannot understand in Alvin being without Madison or any woman for such a long stretch of time. Alvin prefers to stay in the burnt out woods on the weekends as being alone with his thoughts and his chores - many which he considers his life lessons - he believes helps him think more clearly about life. Although their lives are affected by the few people they meet along the way, it is the aftermath of one of Lance's weekends home that will forever change the nature of their relationship and their respective outlooks on life.

Movie Reviews

The Popcorn Junkie - 10/10 by Cameron WilliamsThe humour is ace and it has a strong emotional backbone that moves you from laughing at the characters to laughing with them. Subtle and beautiful execution.
Film Journal International - 10/10 by Chris BarsantiDavid Gordon Green's lo-fi buddy flick about a couple of slacker road workers strikes a smart middle ground between his atmospheric early work and recent slapdash comedies.
Spirituality and Practice - 10/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatProof that even the weirdest and most irritating people are full of surprises and capable of change.
Newcity - 10/10 by Ray PrideThe film's gift is that it is utterly grounded and simultaneously otherworldly.
Chicago Tribune - 9/10 by Michael PhillipsHere's a funny, poignant oddball of a movie, existing on a galaxy far, far away from the likes of "Pacific Rim" or "World War Z" or anything whose computer-generated actions speak louder than words.
NPR - 9/10 by Joel ArnoldPrince Avalanche speaks insightfully to the joys and costs of being alone, and of the risk that comes with letting another person in. Bittersweet and deeply felt, it also shows with confidence the estimable and still surprising talents of its cast and director.
Tucson Weekly - 9/10 by Bob GrimmA solid return to form for David Gordon Green, and great stuff from Rudd and Hirsch. Also...stellar soundtrack.
RogerEbert.com - 9/10 by Matt Zoller SeitzIt's the sort of film in which "We've got a lot of lines to paint, and it's a very long road" is clearly about more than it seems to be about.
Reeling Reviews - 9/10 by Robin CliffordDo not expect action and thrills, "Prince Avalanche" is not that kind of film.
Detroit News - 9/10 by Tom LongDid I just really pay good money to watch this?
