07/01/2020 In trying to garner a better understanding of middle America rural values and lifestyle, I was struck by the stultifying homogeneous dullness and anti-progress attitudes of their residents. There was only one planner who was forward thinking and he was met with derision and road blocks. No wonder the young people are moving away. The cinematography was nice though.

This is a bit more compact at well over two hours, but it's much more interesting than his last film. Is this vintage Wiseman, no, but is it neat if it's your kind of documentary film? Sure! Final Score: 6.2/10 See more 09/17/2019 This was the most boring film I've ever seen. I imagine this film was created for those who find meaning in watching paint dry.

See more 12/27/2018 I believe the documentary offers a very genuine and matter of fact snapshot of a town not much different from many towns this size in the Midwest. What is remarkable is the apparent concerted effort to keep things the same. After 175 years of virtually nothing changing this town has been forced to accept what happens when an apathetic public isnt engaged in decision making. The political climate isn't as one sided here as people might think. The town generally has been guided by common sense and generous long time sons and daughters of homesteaders. I know..... I grew up there and still have many relatives as well as friends. See more Read all reviews
