    Sneaky good film. I was bored last weekend so I decided to flip through Tubi on my TV and I stumbled across this movie. The brief movie description made it sound sort of interesting, and it is a little different than most other movies. I was pleasantly surprised, and I'm not overly into camping nor the outdoors. The plot is interesting and all I am going to say is the main female actor is absolutely hot. I mean like ridiculous hot. She carried the movie, along with the main male lead cop.

    Don't listen to the negative reviews....this is a decent low budget movie that gives some interesting insight into national parks.

    O, did i mention that the lewd actress is gorgeous?

    Really bad

    Unwatchable. I spent years camping with NPS and also as a volunteer with NPS. Badly made film. I believe this was a real School project from some college. But ended up as a 8th grade production.

    Film with a Purpose

    Driftless takes a fresh look at America, the key issues we face, and the people that form this unique nation, through the lens of a state park in the upper-Midwest, and it does so in a very deft and clever manner. I, personally, do not like giving up on people, no matter how temporarily "out of order" they may be, and it was refreshing to experience a main character in a film who feels the same tug on their heart (to not close the door on people). Really, the entire cast of this film played their respective roles exceptionally well, and overall, I felt Driftless displayed, in a very raw and real sense, what it means to be an American today, profoundly capturing the key issues our country continues to grapple with. Much gratitude to all who made this film, a film I know will help spread a message of love and respect for our lands, and each other, so that we all may do our own part to keep this country/world clean and healthy, natural and friendly, and thus wild and "wealthy" (but in a natural sense). #fram

    Incredibly bad

    The driftless area is so beautiful, but this movie is literally the worst thing I've ever seen. Period. Such horrible stereotypes and pathetic scripting. I cannot believe it got produced. Soooooooo BBBBbBbAAAAAD!

    Go visit the area. You will love it. You will love the people. Skip this awful, garbage movie. I cannot say enough how bad this is.

    It ended up being simply laughable and so bad my husband and I had to see it through to the end. The least they could have done was show more of the area. That would have at least been interesting.

    The Mississippi River coupled with the insanely lovely rolling hills make it.

    The House on the Rock was also weirdly worth the time and money.

    Garbage propaganda

    If you've come here for a Fourth of July movie, you made a mistake. If you came for cringe political/environmental propaganda that makes CNN look like a top-tier production in comparison, you might be in the right place.

    Do yourself a favor and watch The Bay instead, which actually implements a movie around its message instead of vice versa. Not that this should be classified as a movie so much as non-actors who cannot act simply reading aloud their cringe scripted lines. You will likely see more talent in your local High School plays than this monotonous propaganda trash.
