I really liked this one. I read about it over on a documentary blog I follow. It's a movie about a small town called Sidney, OH (zip code 45365). It's full of great little moments and is shot beautifully. The way the scenes are edited is very well done. I highly recommend it. You can actually watch the film online through August 6 if you can stand the annoying ads every so often. If not, add it to Netflix. It's not out on DVD yet, but you can save it.

You always find the coolest stuff Chris, I will check it out.
I'm from 43055 so I know most of these people, or at least their kind. I have never seen a truer representation of the population of Ohio than this. To a certain degree, I have a small sliver of pride, much like seeing your ex on America's Most Wanted. I am also saddled with more than a little bit of shame because I know I dated her.
It's accuracy is frightening, right down to the midnight train to Chicago that passed by the trailer court down the road.
I laughed, I cried, and I knew I wasn't alone. Thanks for giving me a trip home without ever having to leave my chair.

Glad you liked it, Doc. I was thinking of my Ohio friends as I watched it. Actually, there was plenty I could relate to even though I grew up in a Chicago suburb. I really liked the randomness and lack of a central character. I like it when filmmakers break rules and try something new.
I'm late to this party. I added it to our Netflix cue. It reminds me of a documentary called Searching For The Wrong Eyed Jesus, which is a tour through the deep south - a really beautiful, yet horrifying film. I have hopes that this one is as good.
