Shotgun Stories **
Jeff Nichols, 2008
US
@ Northwest Film Forum
Overall pretty excellent. At times almost too earnestly regionalist. I guess I might agree that the resolution isn't brutal or fascinating enough to really bite, even though it's still pretty grim. It may be somewhere between a simple meditation on the inevitability and randomness of death and a really cutting rural tragedy. Still excellently memorable and hopefully indicative of great(er) things to come from Jeff Nichols.
