Michael Shannon w/d Jeff Nichols
Nice little indie. Set in Arkansas the story deals with a family feud that plays out in what seems like slow motion. The women seem normal but the men are all slow-walking, slow-talking, slow-thinking louts. Events play out one measured step at a time with a calm, inexorable inevitability.
Performances were subdued. I got the sense that Nichols tried, and succeeded, in capturing the tone of life in his native Arkansas among a certain class of folk, where it's too damn hot to move any faster or think any harder. Nice job.
