In this life, people limit their dreams to what you can find at the dollar store.
The confluence of poverty, dysfunctional parenting and poor educational prospects makes the oft-idealized small-town life look like an incubator for failure, no matter how high and spectacular the Fourth of July fireworks fly.
One moment, you're wincing; the next, you're shaking your head in sympathy.
The spare, haunting score and intimate use of the camera brings us directly into the desperate lives of a country's poorest people, struggling to find even occasional pride and sense of belonging.
"Rich Hill" doesn't just make you feel like you know these boys; it makes you care about them.
What makes this elegy worth watching is the unfettered access to Andrew, Appachey and Harley, teenagers who are dealing with a hardscrabble existence in which role models are nowhere in sight.
Its beauty also suggests a plea to the viewer: how do you keep America beautiful?
Tracy Droz Tragos and Andrew Droz Palermo's documentary is an unflinching portrait of poverty in rural America, and its sympathetic portrayals give heartbreaking examples of neighbors in need.
The Rust Belt's 'New Normal' depicted as a desolate, depressed dystopia dotted with street urchins a tad too naïve to appreciate their dire life prospects.
We root for them to find hope for the future under the most difficult of circumstances, and worry that there are many more kids just like them.
A beautiful, heartbreaking documentary.
Made with the slickness of Clint Eastwood's 'It's Halftime in America' commercial and about as substantive.
