VIBE
This film feels like a worn-out country song, steeped in the melancholic beauty of a life lived hard. It's an intimate, raw character study, exploring the weary path to redemption with a soulful, naturalistic grace. The music is as much a character as the people, adding to its authentic, heartfelt ache.
