      Audience Member i really liked this movie. you feel for the main characters and the struggles they are up against. it is sad in parts but worth watching. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Pleasant and moving film. It is a little slow moving, but it fits in with the backwards North Carolina setting. Henry Thomas gives a surprisingly effective performance. He is sensitive, touching and fully convincing in the role. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Ackward, slow, and underrated! This movie is fantastic! and Henry Thomas played his role so well! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member I want to see it again! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Re-creates that chilling sense that comes when, in the middle of a pleasant conversation, one realizes the other person is off his rocker. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member An interesting movie. Henry Thomas simply continues to amaze me. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
