Will Poulter and Noah Centineo deliver pitch-perfect performances as brothers Cody and Jack Parsons, each navigating a court-mandated drug rehabilitation program in a pocket of rural Ohio hit hard by the opioid epidemic. Provided with hope for the first time since their struggles began and with the support of a tireless counselor (Annette Deao), the brothers work toward a brighter, sober future. Poulter and Centineo blend seamlessly with a supporting cast composed predominantly of non-professional actors as they share their actual experiences, pain, and optimism as they, themselves, navigate the program. Ohio-born filmmaker Adam Meeks creates a film imbued with realism for an honest, compassionate portrait of a battle being fought across America and the solidarity that flowers on its front lines.

A deeply empathic picture, powerful in its attention to detail, and still capable of real hope. Go to Full Review Lexi Amoriello Movie Recs by Lex Jul 9
Union County is one of the most patient, gentle, and authentic portraits of addiction in film history. Will Poulter’s outstanding performance captures the anguish and inner turmoil of the arduous, never-ending journey that is recovery. Go to Full Review Sarah Manvel Movies We Texted About May 11
Union County’s core weakness is as American as the story it is telling, which limits the film’s appeal to its glimpses of the real lives at the story’s edge. Go to Full Review Anna Miller Discussing Film Mar 2
4/5
Will Poulter shines in Union County, which avoids the pitfalls of other dramas about drug addiction by featuring real-life recovering addicts and giving them the chance to share their own stories. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
