Dir. David Gordon Green
English
Rating: [R16] Graphic violence, sex scenes and offensive language.
Genres: Drama
Topics: Gothic.
Feat. Nicolas Cage, Tye Sheridan
Aroview: An ex-con becomes a de facto father figure to a teenage boy (Tye Sheridan of MUD) trying to escape a violent upbringing in this rural coming-of-age tale.
While ostensibly a return to roots for David Gordon Green (after directing a string of Hollywood comedies), his latest film lacks the strangeness and lyricism of his earlier works, settling for a fairly routine take on the Southern Gothic genre, albeit one authentic in its atmosphere and performances.

2 stars (Good Try) Its commendable to speak the local drawl but subtitles please. Gary Poulter the stand out as the main alcoholic. ~Tubbs
