Sweet Virginia

I rarely write reviews but came on here as I was shocked at the low scores. This movie gripped me from start to finish. A slow burn drama, with great cinematography and score. Truly a work of art. I'd rate it 8.5/10. Don't listen to the bad reviews.

This movie is stocked with great actors and great plot ideas that just never come together. Bernthal is great but even his character is a bit flimsy with a lot of unanswered details about his past looming over the viewer. The action in the film is great and you'll be engaged, but you'll be wishing there was more character development to really pull things together.

This movie sure was well worth my time. A decent thriller drama, the villain in this movie did an exemplary performance, certainly award winning.

If you like slow burn thrillers that gets into your skin and makes you want to guess the next scene, this is for you.

Pros: Scenario 6/10 (Terse script, plain scenario not complicated, no plot holes but nothing that we haven't see before... not much character analysis, covered by good acting though) Direction 7/10 (Jamie Dagg made a good dark Neo-Noir/Neo Western thriller) Cinematography 7/10 Jon Bernthal 7/10 Christopher Abbott 8/10 (Really convincing as a psycho character... scary convincing!) Cons: Actually I found no important weaknesses in this movie. Nice movie. 7/10 by me.

Sweet Virginia is a low budget indie film. The pace is slow but the film is well made and well acted. Characters should of been developed more but otherwise a good film.
