      Stephen Holden New York Times Although made on a shoestring and unevenly acted, conjures a Lynch-like vision of the rotting underbelly of Middle America.

      Audience Member I am awesome in it! my name is Ernie E Frantz ! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Out of Fotopoulos work, this one I really do like. The story is much more accessible, the direction is better and it may teeter on Lynchian proportions, it still shows Fotopoulos finding his own voice instead of somebody else's. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
