John Maringouin's emotionally raw Running Stumbled makes the term 'dysfunctional family' quaint and insufficient.

This astoundingly personal documentary grips us with its sheer audacity.

Shadows on the Wall

Alternates between laugh-out-loud funny moments of rural depravity and chilling depictions of human indecency.

It's a documentary, however, comparing it to fiction filmmaking, Running Stumbled plays out like a twisted Cassavetes film.

This film is fucking claustrophobic, oppressive and hypnotic. For me there were a few moments when the director's manipulations pushed it too far into the realm of fiction (it's a peddled as a doc), but most of the time it was dead on and totally inspired. I'm anxious to see some more of John Maringouin's stuff.
