      Audience Member If you like picking small things apart and giggling, this is the movie for you. An English teacher's wife can barely speak English... To spooky dawg. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member An author writes a book about a local murder. The movie is 1/2 about the murder and 1/2 about the author. The part about the author is intermixed throughout the movie, and is so jumbled, narcissistic and boring, it is difficult to get through to find out about the murder. Furthermore, the murder story and the victim are so uninteresting that it not worth wading through the mud of a movie to watch. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member The most jumbled idiotic self aggrandizing mess I have ever seen!!!!! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member 9/1/15 Sundance Doc Club A quirky doc set in a cold, boring weird small town filled with some strange citizens. It was a fun watch with some interesting side bars but certainly not a wow, that was great movie. You are left to ponder the fate of the professor. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Supposed to be about a murder in Nebraska but plays out as an indulgence of the film maker. "Here's ME making a documentary!"

      C.J. Prince Way Too Indie Jannetta presents a compelling yet somewhat uneven portrait of a small town, and the unsolved mystery that's gripped them for years. Jun 21, 2019 Full Review Nicholas Laskin The Playlist "Love and Terror on the Howling Plains of Nowhere" is a kooky, uneven, mostly entertaining case of real-life weirdness, a gumbo of disparate elements that never quite congeals. Rated: B- May 16, 2015 Full Review Chris Barsanti PopMatters idiosyncratic ... superb Nov 18, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews
