About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a quiet, down-to-earth family feud drama with a heavy, gloomy mood and more simmering tension than action; Not for you if you need fast pacing or clear payoffs, like Take Shelter.
Pros: authentic rural atmosphere; strong performances; simmering tension | Cons: very slow pace; thin plot; hard to connect
