This was a truly exceptional film, one of the best that I've seen from last year. The only reason I docked it a star was that it was at least thirty minutes too long and it dragged slowly at times. Sasha Lane made her acting debut in this, and I think she has a bright future ahead of her. The nuances in her acting were those of a more seasoned actress, and I was surprised to learn this was her first film. Riley Keough and Shia LaBeouf was also both outstanding and the three had tremendous chemistry together. The direction was wondrously lush and full of layered metaphor. This film lives in the same world as "Hick" and "Dixieland", and that's high praise from me. Highly recommended. 4/5
