Great movie. Its screams independent but sings a song of something I can't quite capture, but I know its something beautiful. the only weird thing is that the dude who did this movie directed "Pineapple Express" (directing only), talk about a transition.

I saw this when it opened and felt admittedly underwhelmed. It seemed too posed, too self-conscience, too Indie (if you take my meaning). But the second time around it was... amazing. Green exhibits a nice touch with the imagery and the overall tone of hope and despair rings true for this small southern town in varying stages of decline. The major reversal though was the way I felt about the kids portrayals. Yes the dialogue is too eloquent for children of their age and exposure but it's almost as if we're hearing their thoughts and feelings couched in words they only wish they could say. It's as if Green were trying to liberate their undervalued insights and give them a voice.

..Aside from a few instances where the kids use terms like, "I mean..." a little too often is the ONLY thing that reminds me that this stuff is rehearsed. I'm not sure if the "I means," are scripted and just not the kids attempts at sounding more natural, but that's the only thing I found wrong with it... Otherwise, I would have thought I was watching lives in real time I'm about 28% into the movie but I just had to remark on it.

Very interesting and done in an 'artsy' fashion. The plot was loose, maybe just a tad bit too loose. Very real and lifelike. Not a "feel good movie". But a movie with a lot of emotion and character.
