Unfortunately this film is very very realistic. I thought it was well made and is a story that has to be heard.
A film about love and loss. Understated. Beautiful. Heart wrenching. Life affirming. Touching. Achingly sad. All of these yet uplifting at the same time. Manchester by the Sea on a low budget. Both films brilliant in their own right.
I recommend this movie 100%. The story line is one that many people can relate to and it could help those who are struggling with addiction or know someone who is. It will have you feeling every type of emotion from the very beginning. The acting plays a big part in that also, every single one of the cast did an amazing job.
Great performance here by Josh Stewart.
This movie is really well done. Essentially a character study about how we can all take a deep dive after the loss of a child, Back Fork delivered on a lot of levels. The movie also delivered on cinematography , music and the acting by all involved was excellent. This one can touch the heartstrings too and there aren't that many movies out there that make me think about that.
Then come to find out Stewart wrote it and directed it also? Okay top notch. 9/10

Sad realistic drama set in mountains of West Virginia. Unfortunately, too many members of our society have addiction problems and this movie shows the pain and gut-wrenching reality of it. Well done by Stewart. Special shout-out to veteran actor David Selby as Waylon's dad. Excellent portrayal of typical Appalachian father unable to deal with his own emotions.
