I always thought it was interesting when David Gordon Green started doing films like STRONGER, PRINCE AVALANCHE, and HALLOWEEN when I first knew him as a broad comedy director. This is his first film and it is very pretty. The world feels super lived in and the color just makes everything feel rusted. It’s a similar sepia look to what the Coen Brothers would later implement digitally the same year with O’ BROTHER WHERE ART THOU? It’s also cool seeing Paul Schneider a) young and b) in role unlike anything I have seen him in. It is such a patient film that really deals with regret and the concept of what it means to be a good person. This is one of those movies I wish I made.
