Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe title of this film, All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt (2023), refers to the practice of eating clay dirt, which has been common among poorer people who live in rural areas in the Southern United States, especially African-Americans. Jannie Hampton, who plays Grandma Betty in this movie, was familiar with the practice. Director Raven Jackson had also written a poem by that title, but the poem is otherwise unrelated to the film.
Featured review
The experience of watching this is like watching an art gallery installation. In a museum, maybe this would work, you sit down for a bit, get immersed in a rich environment, and then move on to see other artworks.
As a cinematic film, it is like watching paint dry. Cannot get invested in the characters or the development. There is a rich story here and that is what is so frustrating. The film is well-made in that it does very well in its shots, cinematography and setting but then it fails miserably in narrative and development.
I have to think this comes down to a terrible script, but cannot be sure.
Either way, it is unwatchable and does not really deserve to be considered for any awards.
