| User ReviewKeith MStellar performances by Karen Black and Walton Goggins! Filmed in Meridian, MS... |
| User ReviewJames HA very good movie. With an intense and complicated story. The move goes very slowly, but comes with an intense emotions in every minute. Very recommended. |
| User ReviewPrivate UInteresting movie. The cast is hot. Karen Black is over the top as usual. |
| User ReviewLevi CThis movie was really good, simple, and beautiful... Better than Brokeback |
| User ReviewRich BRed Dirt (1999) ?For everything you want, there?s a price to be paid.? An unhappy young man, orphaned as a child, is trapped between his crazy aunt, his love for his cousin Emily, and his desire to seek his fortune out West. A mysterious man rents the family cottage and the grim trap begins to shake itself apart. The musical score perfectly complemented the writing, which was poetically hypnotic. An uncommon story told uncommonly well. |
| User ReviewWS WLooks raw & trivial at starting, but feeling steadily better when it goes. |
| User ReviewSierra HA very complicated story that brances on like the roots of the old tree that we first meet Griffin under. Very honestly told, to the point that it irritated me. |
| User ReviewJeremy PAn interesting indie film about repressed love and desire, family bonds and secrets and the deep south. For a small independent film the cinematography and score are amazing. Some of the performances from the cast are wonderful (actor Walt Goggins who plays Lee Todd is terrific) but some are a bit overly dramatic (Karen Black anyone?). By no means is this a great film (it could have been) but I would recommend it for at least a rental viewing. |
| User ReviewSarah FThis film was beautifully shot, with wonderful cinematography. The acting was exceptional, and the characters believable. Though, I have to admit that this was one of the most depressing movies I've ever viewed. A few happy moments intermixed with a lot of gloom, with a slightly disappointing ending. Overall, I'd recommend this film, but keep in mind it's not very cheerful, and will not leave you with a great sense of happiness. |
