Back Fork

Sad realistic drama set in mountains of West Virginia. Unfortunately, too many members of our society have addiction problems and this movie shows the pain and gut-wrenching reality of it. Well done by Stewart. Special shout-out to veteran actor David Selby as Waylon's dad. Excellent portrayal of typical Appalachian father unable to deal with his own emotions.

This movie is not for anyone having a not so great day. It really is pretty real and about real problems. It's hard to say I understand this movie because I really don't when it comes to its content. I've never had drug issues personally. However, that being said if you want a very real drama about very real issues, this is one to watch. Again Josh Stewart and A.J. Cook are great and both shine in this.

Great performance here by Josh Stewart.

This movie is really well done. Essentially a character study about how we can all take a deep dive after the loss of a child, Back Fork delivered on a lot of levels. The movie also delivered on cinematography , music and the acting by all involved was excellent. This one can touch the heartstrings too and there aren't that many movies out there that make me think about that.

Then come to find out Stewart wrote it and directed it also? Okay top notch. 9/10

This film got way to low a rating! It is powerful, emotional, and moving in so many ways. It's real and raw! My moods changed with the film. I felt sadness and then hopelessness and then hopefulness. The way it approaches addiction and grief was extremely moving. Truly an incredible movie that deserves more praise.

I recommend this movie 100%. The story line is one that many people can relate to and it could help those who are struggling with addiction or know someone who is. It will have you feeling every type of emotion from the very beginning. The acting plays a big part in that also, every single one of the cast did an amazing job.
