Reviews (1)
While watching this movie, I felt as if I was watching life as it was. And that’s despite the fact I have never been to the American rural areas. In fact, I’ve never been to America as such. Nevertheless, a strong asset of this film is the humanity, honesty and genuineness of all the characters that play an important role in the movie. Also, while watching this film, I felt as if I was watching the French movie Untouchables. You can definitely see where the authors of the French movie got their inspiration from. ()
