Synopsis:

From IMDb: “Alabama; 1969: The death of a clan’s estranged wife and mother brings together two very different families. Do the scars of the past hide differences that will tear them apart, or expose truths that could lead to unexpected collisions?”

Poster: C+

Review: Were the poster design reserved for the upper half, it might be worth multiple glimpses to see everyone in their finery. By tacking on the bottom portion, the design grinds to a halt eliminating any possibility of visual flow.

Trailer: C

Review: Billy Bob Thornton’s fifth directorial effort continues his slow decline into obscurity. This film lacks excitement or ingenuity and serves little purpose other than to highlight its bountiful cast list, but provide nothing in the way of impetus for non-fans to watch it.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
