The backdrop of Jeff Nichols' first feature is small-town Arkansas, but the scale is grand tragedy. This tale of bloody ties and vengeance combines the breadth and texture of a Cormac McCarthy novel with the lyrical naturalism of a David Gordon Green film (who co-produced it and mentored Nichols). Winner of the New American Cinema Grand Jury Prize at the Seattle International Film Festival.
"Grade A: The best American film of last year...The cast is uniformly excellent" -Seattle PI
"Promising first-time writer-director Jeff Nichols honors the integrity of his conflicted characters while twisting their blood ties with escalating tension." -Seattle Times
