Wes Greene Slant Magazine The film has an atmosphere of endless experimentation, which compliments the constant revision the subjects apply to their lives in the wake of their economic insecurity. Rated: 3.5/4 Jun 16, 2014 Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times A sneakily compelling, endlessly patient observation of three working-class families in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Jun 15, 2014 Full Review Alan Scherstuhl Village Voice Rather than high drama, these are moments of plain being, a rare immersion into the everyday lives of strangers. Jun 13, 2014 Full Review Michael Nordine Willamette Week You feel as though you've been given the keys to a town that trusts you to look around at your own pace and turn off the light on your way out. And the longer you stay, the less you feel like leaving. Rated: B+ Jun 18, 2014 Full Review Louis Proyect rec.arts.movies.reviews Gets past the Joe Six-Pack, NASCAR fan stereotypes and shows you how ordinary working class people work and play. Given the deepening class divisions in the USA, a film that illuminates how people survive psychologically. Jun 13, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews
