Beautiful and Intimate small town American film

"I'm so glad I blind bought this. An incredibly moving, well written, well acted, and poignant piece about love, grief, and friendship. Dripping in comforting 'small town America' vibes."

— Eliot H. (5/5)

One of the best films of the decade so far

"An astonishingly powerful film. Maybe my favorite movie to come out that year. Emotionally sneaks up on you and stars a real family as the main family in the film. The Blu-ray looks good and the artwork is great."

— Tyler L. (5/5)

Touching family drama

"A very touching family drama about dealing with loss and reaching the edge of reason before finding resonance in a group of volunteer theater actors. Comes with a handful of extras like audition tapes and a nifty slipcover and sleeve."

Ghostlight - Review

"Another great film to cry to thanks to Vinegar Syndrome! Love the gloss/feel of the slipcover on this one in particular. Nice soft edges that don't cut into the packaging - ya know, the way slipcovers SHOULD be :)"

— Jordan F. (5/5)
