I love the camerawork.

The trailer is visually compelling but I am hesitant when it comes to movies that rely on raves from Sundance. Sundance is a hole of groveling pseudo-artists who think being nihilistic equates being smart. I'm also careful with films of trailers that don't tell me what the movie is about but rather gloats about it's positive reviews/awards. I'm not saying it marks this as a bait-and-switch, I'm just saying it raises red flags in my mind.

This all said, I am interested and hope it's as good as being portrayed here.

The plot summary from IMDb:

"A single mother and her embattled son struggle to subsist in a small Mississippi Delta township. An act of violence thrusts them into the world of an emotionally devastated highway store owner, awakening the fury of a bitter and longstanding conflict."
