Aro Recommended Shotgun Stories

 

USA 2007, 87 minutes
Dir. Jeff Nichols
Genres: Drama, Suspense/Crime / Independent

 

Aroview: Sturdy, atmospheric independent drama detailing the simmering rivalry between two sets of half-brothers which boils over after the death of their mutual father.

Co-produced by director David Gordon Green, this bares his signature understatement, sympathetic tone, and dedication to authentic locations (Arkansas), social strata (working-class) and performances (led by the charismatic Michael Shannon). While ultimately a conventional 'sins of the father' morality tale, it is compellingly told and lovingly crafted, and marks a promising feature debut for its writer/director.
