Title: Balm for a transplanted Midwesterner
Product review: This film perfectly captures the pace of small town life in the Midwest; the old men who spend the last years of their lives sitting around the hardware store or the tavern, people who can make an afternoon's entertainment watching the volunteer fire department burn down an old house for a training exercise, who still say sir and ma'am and who wouldn't presume to make a long distance call on your phone without paying for it. I recognize these people. They aren't fancy pants Hollywood stars made up to look like midwesterners; they're genuine, the neighbors, aunts, and uncles that I grew up with.The pace could be called slow, but to me it feels serene and peaceful. It's a calming balm after a day of fast-paced west coast life, like a trip back home to remind me of who I am.
