A rediscovery akin to finding a half-charred, booze-soaked, unreleased Tennessee Williams manuscript in a rural dime antique parlor, under beat up copies of Life. It's not actually the setting or the non-professional actors that give the film its authenticity: there's a natural sympathy in the direction, searching for souls, not characters - like a melancholy wind blowing through a deserted farmstead. John Crawford's monologue is so devastating, the film's themes of abandonment become universal.

A beautiful snapshot of life in hardscrabble middle America with no happy people. The adults drink away their problems and stumble around to solve their problems the only way they know how to. The kids fall into the same pattern with minimal moments of simple joy, though even the sex here wasn't depicted as a pleasurable escape. Fav scene: the long shot of the kids speeding along on the motorcycle along the dirt road.
