Another singular and visual film from Factory 25’s word that I enjoy a lot.
- IW70mm MemberIsaac W.Verified Buyer10 months agoRated 3 out of 5 starsNice disc, not my flavor of film
A mumblecore odyssey in David Gordon Green tones, this movie doesn't really yin my yang. The hipster-flavored aimlessness leaves me dissatisfied most times, even when there's interesting material sprinkled throughout. Maybe this whole is less than the sum of its parts for me. Either way, Factory25 offers a nice collection with an interesting assortment of shorts by Betzer.

Young Bodies Heal Quickly (2014), directed by Andrew T. Betzer, is a minimalist road movie that delves into themes of violence, masculinity, and familial bonds. The film follows two brothers, the older Gabriel (Gabriel Croft) and the younger Hale (Hale Lytle), who, after accidentally causing a woman's death, embark on a journey across rural America to evade the law.
The narrative is fragmented and episodic, with sparse dialogue and an emphasis on visual storytelling. Critics have noted its slow pace and lack of conventional plot structure, which may be off-putting to some viewers. However, for those attuned to its rhythm, the film offers a haunting exploration of its characters' psyches.
The cinematography by Sean Price Williams captures the rawness of the rural landscape, complementing the film's gritty tone. Performances by the lead actors are understated yet compelling, effectively conveying the brothers' complex relationship and internal struggles.
While Young Bodies Heal Quickly may not appeal to mainstream audiences due to its unconventional style and pacing, it stands out as a thought-provoking piece for viewers interested in introspective and avant-garde cinema.

Interesting little indie drama from 2014 and one of the better releases from Factory 25. In its surreal depiction of suburban America, the film reminded me of Harmony Korine, especially GUMMO.
Extras include a commentary with directory, deleted/extended scenes and 5 of his short film. Quite a package! Also included is a pretty thick booklet.
My copy has a misprint on the reverse side of the sleeve. The title on the spine says "Full Moon Trilogy", which is an earlier F25 release.
