a masterpiece - had been on my radar for a while and so glad i checked this out. it’s an almost 2.5 hour drama about a west virginia mining town trying to join forces and fight back against union busters and while that may not sound like the most exciting story, there is not a single dull moment throughout the runtime
fantastic script with such well written characters, incredible cinematography that ranges from lush, vivid forests to noir-like interiors with dark shadows and overcast faces and a killer ensemble of character actors elevating the already great material. absolutely loved every part of this
