Summary |
Director Josephine Decker's highly-acclaimed second feature unfolds with the lyricism and inexorable sense of tragedy of an ancient Appalachian murder ballad. Indie icon Joe Swanberg (director of *Happy Christmas* and *Drinking Buddies*) delivers a beautifully understated performance as Akin, a soft-spoken farmworker who takes a summer job working for the belligerent, domineering Jeremiah (Robert Longstreet), who lives in incestuous isolation with his daughter. Official Selection at the **Berlin International Film Festival**. Nominated for the Audience Award in the American Independents competition at **AFI Fest**. Nominated for the FIPRESCI Prize and the Golden Firebird Award at the **Hong Kong International Film Festival**. *"Decker concocts a wholly enveloping vision of isolation told with a grimly poetic style that ... never stops playing by its own eerie rulebook." - Eric Kohn, **indieWire*** |
