About
If you enjoy people-watching documentaries and low-key, eccentric conversations, this makes a great companion to Grey Gardens or Gates of Heaven; Not for you if you need a clear story, fast pacing, or constant action.
Pros: oddball humor; memorable local characters; gentle small-town portrait | Cons: very slow pace; lots of rambling talk; abrupt, loose ending
