Lester D. @lhdore Dec 13, 2025 I enjoyed watching a movie with no connection whatsoever to Hollywood, star power, series, our current political crisis (I’m writing this in December 2025), big cities, fentanyl, or alcohol. it’s about poor people who don’t blame their station in life on anyone else. Well, except their landlord, and he turns out to be a decent guy after home. The opening scene, the four kids and their father foraging, wild green and roast to enhance their diet of homegrown vegetables, had me right there. The child actors were recruited from local elementary schools, and two of the professional actors turned in believable, new honest, performance. I thought, Harry Dean Stanton did a bang up job.

Dean Stanton’s greatest role of course is in Paris, Texas. See more S R @ScottR Jan 27, 2024 A wholesome movie showing the struggles of rural hillbillies trying to keep their family together. Saw on TCM. See more Joan P @RT65848482 Jul 22, 2023 I read this book with my class in the 1990's. I thought they'd dislike the 1970's setting of the movie but they loved it, maybe because they could identify with the rural characters and setting, so the hair and clothes didn't matter much. I think this movie is nearly perfect.
