This
is a quietly told drama of two young men, their troubled father,
and their efforts to carve out a satisfying life on their modest
farm as financial and emotional problems loom. Such understated
storytelling, sensitive directing, and avoidance of easy filmmaking
tricks are all too rare in American movies. This is truly one
from the heart.
