Small Town Wisconsin

I just saw this movie and liked it, though it was a bit of a downer at times. It's hard watching someone who can't get their life together even though it means hard consequences will be enforced. Addiction is hard to watch. It was a touching story. Well written, realistic, heartwarming, sad, well executed. You'll go through a spectrum of emotions before the movie ends. Not giving it a 10 because it dragged in parts. Acting was great from everyone. I'm always amazed at the depth of range some child actors can bring to a performance. Being from Wisconsin I liked seeing my state represented. I've driven down lakeshore dr to admire the fancy houses and going to see a brewers game for the first time is an exciting experience. Worth seeing.

It was my privilege to view this amazing film at the equally amazing Rising Sun International Film Festival held at Brick Hall, a classy venue in Garden Paradise Kitakyushu in November 2020. Everyone present absolutely loved the film and raved about it after the screening.Niels Mueller put together a wonderful cast and crew who gelled perfectly to create what could be called a masterpiece. The movie was perfectly paced and deeply touching. Its scenery and score match the story and script beautifully creating a truly wonderful film to watch on the big screen. Thank you to the creators of this film and the festival that screened it.

Was fortunate enough to see "Small Town Wisconsin" at the Red Tock Film Festival in Cedar City, UT.

Absolutely loved it. All of the performances were spot on - not a weak moment in the film. Mueller's deft skills and talents are obvious throughout. Sullivan's performance echoes those of the late Phillip Seymour Hoffman. It's going to be interesting to see his future trajectory. Musical score develops beautifully and impressively - aligned with the mood and tone of script and performance. Nate Goodman's camera too, serves the story. All cinematic elements are in servitude to the collective mosaic. Not an ego in the bunch. Goes to show the power of the collective.

Did that come from? This is comedy drama on socialrealismic realms, a road trip from small town wisconsin to the big city sitting by the ''ocean''-side, and milwaukee its called, as a last attempt or try to revive his own childrens memories, and showing his so ,soon to be taken away from him due to a divorce battle, the glory of hallelujah down the drain of the beerbottle.

This movie are one of the most manic depressive golden nugget of a gemstone riding down the gloryhole, to show his son the biggest games of all , namely a good old ball match. Its such a sad story with so many witty twists, the small cast of actors is just marvelous, the best of them all is the dads buddy chuck, he is doing oscar worthy stuff on the big white carpet.

So if you like socialrealism , alcoholis, custodians, adultry, wake up moments and a whole lot of love from a breezy mindset of a redneck mechanic and his family, watch ''smalltown wisconsin'', the best of its genre this fiscal year. A recommend from the grumpy old man.

Amazing job by director Niels Mueller! The film does homage to small mid-western cities and masterfully portrays real life family struggles. Fabulous film!
