A well-made slow burn

This is a refreshingly well-crafted work and one of the best indies I've seen this year. Beautiful visuals caught my eye and kept my attention throughout. The masterful cinematography by writer/director John Wesley Norton and production design by Crystal Forlano are studio quality. Kudos to lead Shannon Brown for a compelling dramatic performance, and to perfectly-cast Suzette Brown as the small-town deputy struggling to be taken seriously. Bruce Spielbauer commands the screen as her quirky, likable foil, and reminded me of Sam Elliott.

A slow burn -- and a fun, riveting slow burn -- with twists.

Excellent. A terrific film, and riveting -- and it has a bit of everything. Yes, FOR HANNAH is a "thriller," and it is a "drama" and it is the sort of "slow-burn drama" or a "slow-burn suspense" that we have seen in movies such as "A Simple Plan," or "Fargo" or "Ice Harvest" or "Blood Simple." Including sardonic, off-beat humor. I will watch this one again - which is the highest compliment I can pay to a movie. Perhaps this is best described as "Fargo" -- without a woodchipper." Five stars, out of five stars. Fun stuff!

And then came the twist..

Except for some in My view , unnecessary over the top cussing that a simple look could have achieved .. of which there were some epic ones )

Jarring entertainment.

Very Well Done

I really liked everything about this film. The cast was all around excellent. Shannon Brown, Ric Morgan, Suzette Brown. Carla Abruzzo and Bruce Speilbauer were all perfect in their roles. It had a great look and direction and an interesting story. The plot, about a fugitive hiding in a couple's home, takes many twists and turns. It is humorous at times, but mostly very serious. It did remind me a bit of Fargo. I think you'll enjoy it.

An Enjoyable Indie

While there are certainly a few recognizable tropes in this indie thriller, there are also enough fresh ideas in the story to keep viewers engaged. Writer/Director/Producer John Wesley Norton did an admirable job while wearing many hats, and overall, the acting ensemble in the film is more than competent, and the film's ending proved to be redemptive in the best possible way. Extra points to the cast and crew for filming in what looked to be a frigid tundra!
