Ignore all the bad reviews. These were made by people who are oblivious. The types the only watch mainstream hacky films and truly hate art & real cinema and just don't realize it. This movie nails the desperation of a large portion of America and can apply to most states. It has to be uncomfortable and graphic at times or it would not portray these types of characters accurately. Anyone that loves indie films and not just watered down cringe action trash and wants to dive deep into the white trash mind-state while shot in an artistic view will enjoy this film. There is also plenty of ironic and comical dialogue that makes this horrifying lifestyle your viewing bearable.. why? Because people like this truly are often hilarious without even realizing it. It may be hard for some to not be able to imagine people like this existing. But trust me I've lived all over and grew up in TN and these people are everywhere. If you have class or intelligence around these people they will hate you.. even the ones that aren't drug addicts. The south is no full of caring sweet people unless your one of them and even then they're out to get they're own. Drama obsessed and insufferable people. There polite as they plot on ya and it's all smoke and mirrors. They just think they're more intelligent than the rest of America and that's the icing on the cake. So any horrible actions they do to others in their mind is justified.. dumb & narcissistic makes for dangerous combination anywhere. Very entertaining film. If you showed this at schools to scare kids. It would fail miserably and have the opposite affect just like The movie Kids. Why? Because most people are dumb and glorify being a pos degenerate. Even your little preppy kids and often those are the worse of them all. They just know how to manipulate society when it front of parents and authority figures especially since they're dressed in basic clothes and neat. It's hilarious how nothings really changed since the 80s.. No one's learned anything they've only gotten worse. Sorry for the rant. This movie is fun, sad and funny. But only on screen. If you had to live around these areas and are decent your life would be a living hell. They're is no minding your own business. That just makes you a target.
