    I thought I must be streaming the wrong movie

    Wow. I find something to like in just about every movie I watch and after reading the reviews here I thought I really found a winner...I actually had to double check it was the right movie. It's bad. Not good bad just really bad. I have no idea where these 9 and 10 reviews came from. Just wow...

    Very inauthentic movie

    If you've ever been to Harlan County, or anywhere else in Eastern Kentucky, you would know that the great majority of people here don't look like these actors or sound like them. I've lived in Eastern Kentucky for 12 years, and if it wasn't for the familiar scenery, I would have no idea where the story is supposed to be set. 9 and 10 star reviews on this site for this movie are laughable. One even compared this movie to Shakespeare. That is wrong on so many fronts.

    Rotting Pasts and Quality Storytelling

    The darkness of us, our dark acts and rotting pasts juxtaposed against the haunting beauty of Kentucky landscapes. Harlan (my hometown) is the backdrop for a family mystery that unfolds itself like a tired and sad nightmare. Besides some sporadic cliche dialogue and regional stereotypes, this film is a serious piece of artwork directed by a talented woman with a promising future.

    Fake reviews

    Obvious fake 10 star reviews. I enjoyed it. But it has a dark indie vibe. Not for everyone.

    Karma

    Glad I sought this movie out. I have seen this story unfold in life and it it paralyzing and soul stealing. The performances are solid and endearing. I hope this film maker will continue to tell stories about how the world is really in control.
