Writer/Director Leslie Goyette has crafted a solid film that captures time and place very, very well, and there is some really good acting in the film to enjoy. I watched with my husband, and we both agreed that there is a LOT of quality in every aspect of the production. Spending time in Maysville is time well spent!

Watching Maysville gave me an overwhelming feeling of wonder! How did they make this film the way they did without a massive budget? What a lovely, heartfelt and beautiful story! Kudos to the filmmakers, cast and crew! Setting the bar high for indie films! Well done!

Very tough movie to watch. I'm a fan of movies set in the past but this was awful. Acting was very amateurish, hallmark channel level acting & the story was just boring & bad. No one besides the friends & family of the people who worked on it will actually enjoy it.

The kid's acting is the best part of this movie. It started out good and all of the sudden turned to dialogue that sounded like it was written by a 12 year old. The sets are nice, the kids are good actors...and that's about all I can say about this movie. It could have been good....but it just isn't. I honestly don't even think it's the actors, they had total crap to work with. People are saying it's like a hallmark movie but that's being generous. I'm also shocked that they act like there's no depression during this time where everyone has a job and a car to just tool around. Skip this and spare yourself.

The time wasted watching this "film" - you can never get it back.

I'm in my 50's and I have seen some bad films in my day, but I think this ranks as the WORST. The story line is ridiculous. The screenplay could have been written by a high-school teen. Every corny line and trope is in this film. They drop like dead flies. And talk about slow moving - I actually debated whether I should finish the "film" or go rub ground glass into my eyes. I didn't have any ground glass, so I stuck out the film. Still not sure if that was the smartest choice.

Beyond the disjointed plot elements - there are continuity problems all over the place. Like the fact that this is supposed to take place in Appalachia, but there are no hills or mountains and the local company truck the kid drives around in has Kansas plates.

Seriously, RUN AWAY! RUN!

Immersed in a sumptuous visual feast of a bygone time gave the film a strong foundation. Kudos to the art director, set designer, locations, wardrobe. Extremely well done and an indie film no less. Shout out to the two leads, Cheyenne Barton and Kevin R James.

I wanted to like this movie. A local paper boasted about it being a film by a fellow Oregonian shot in Oregon. Sadly, I found it impossible. The script, directing, acting, production design, even the audio mix wandered into the realm of amateurish very early in.

We watched it all, constantly looking for something that would redeem it, but to no avail.

Low budget films face many production challenges. Good ones overcome them with a solid script, or deft direction, acting camerawork, or some combination thereof. Unfortunately "Maysville" lacks all these qualities. It was not worth watching.

With indie films its a gamble because you never know what you're going to get. This film has the elements of a bigger budget drama with an interesting plot and characters and beautiful cinematography. Watch and be pleasantly surprised.

The premise is just plain dumb. The plot is so full of holes it's pathetic. They wanted to make this super dramatic but all they did was make it ridiculous. You can read the other reviews to get the basic plot but my wife I found it so stupid it was almost beyond belief. The writing is juvenile. The acting is way over done. This could be a college dramatic project that did ok since expectations were low. The dialog is very stilted in many places. Some of the dialog isn't in character for the era it is supposed to be set in. Hmmm, it might even be classed as a Hallmark Movie because of how simplistic it is. If you can suspend all belief, you might like it.

YUCK!!!!

I lost patience with this film early on, but since the many glowing reviews with high ratings seemed to be in conflict with all the low ratings by people who didn't write reviews, I bit the bullet and watched the whole dumb thing so I could join the minority of reviewers who also were underwhelmed.

I am not even going to bother with the synopsis...but it's not nearly as interesting as it sounds.

"Maysville" is a good movie if you enjoy Hallmark or Lifetime For Women Channel movies. In other words, terrible acting, script, music, research, direction and cheap cinematography. The plot holes, the romance novel nonsense, the absolute cringiness of the bad guy. So, for a movie made for those channels, it's a good movie. But if you demand something requiring more effort, it's awful to sit through. At some point I was concerned that my eyes were going to get stuck rolled up into my head.

If you want a good, interesting, intelligent film to entertain you, this is not the one. If you want a soap opera, go for it.

What a terrific indie film! This is a good example why so many people enjoy watching indie films. It had a wonderful story, solid acting and moved along at a good pace. Bravo to all who helped to make this gem of a film! Well done folks! A big thumb's up from me on this one!!

This movie has the look of big budget film. It is well acted with strong performances throughout including Buck, young Teddy and Elizabeth among others. I thought the story was well written and felt that there was always something happening on screen. I though the music/score had an epic feel as well. It was heartbreaking and entertaining at the same time. I highly recommend.

Many movies follow a similar structure of a main character leaving a happy, comfortable life behind for suffering and trials in hopes of achieving their goals. But what happens when the life being lived is already the hell most people never have to endure? Marysville front loads its story with heartbreak, I'm talking real, kick in your gut sadness, and begs you to have hope that a cycle of anger, abuse, and hate can be broken in one generation.

Deciding to produce an independent film is a big undertaking in its own right. But deciding to commit to a period piece is really something brave. It's done to great effect here. Somehow the filmmakers have found accurate locations, vehicles, and wardrobe for the time. The cinematography is solid. The score sounds like a full orchestra and it's as sweeping and engaging as any theatrical release.

I have to recommend Maysville. It has great cast, production design, script, and don't forget an inspiring message we could all learn from.

Great screenplay, acting and music. The character development was solid, and the characters are very relatable. Touching film with plot twists will keep you engaged throughout. Bring the Kleenex you might need it. I recommend.

This is a very original story with impressive acting. I liked the direction that is kind of subtle. Highly recommended!

This is why we need more indie movies!

Micro-budget period films tend to lack authenticity, but not this one. The cast and crew have pulled off something fantastic here that deserves to be seen. It's a perfect mixture of coming-of-age and period-piece that had me hooked instantly and kept me in its grasp throughout. Put this great little film on your watchlist because you won't be disappointed.

Good movie dealing with loss. It is well written and acted. The plot has some interesting twists. The lead (young) actor does a nice job in an emotional story. This deals with loss and forgiveness and does it well. Worth a watch.

Maysville is a great indie film with magnifiscent performances and wonderful music. A rewarding emotional journey from the beginning to the end. It makes you feel so many deep emotions. Director Goyette takes the story to a very high level in style and vision.

I have to admit, I'm a sucker for films set in 1920's and 30's USA and Maysville had me at hello. The story was interesting ant had some very interesting and unexpected plot twists. I was NOT expecting the ending. The whole cast was great but, for my money, Cheyenne Barton stole each of her scenes. The locations and settings were perfect and the emotional score was a standout. Overall, I'm amazed to see this level of production in a small indie with no big stars. I'll be watching this one again!!

A really great film from beginning to end. An emotional journey about overcoming a tragedy, it was a great story with characters you pull for throughout. Well written with a wonderful cast, and just a beautifully rendered period piece. The fact they made it look so good and convincing on an indie budget is rather amazing. A sweet movie that makes you truly feel. I loved it.

I was blown away by Leslie Goyette's "Maysville." Goyette combines gorgeous cinematography, perfectly crafted compositions, and a stirring score, to tell a coming-of-age tale in 1920's Appalachia. A tragic accident sets up the narrative in the film's first act in this gripping drama, complete with a truly terrifying antagonist played by Brian Sutherland. As the young Teddy is forced out of his home and lives under the iron-clad rule of Buck Stamper (Sutherland), we see him grow up to be a strong-willed young man who goes by the name Theo (now played by Kevin Mayr). It should be noted what an exceptional feat for Goyette and team to have accomplished this vision, especially for a period film, on what supposedly was an indie budget. The blossoming romance between grown-up Theo and Elizabeth (a charming Cheyenne Barton) that then develops is heartwarming to watch. The final showdown between Theo and Buck in the film's climactic ending is well-earned and satisfying. I would highly, highly recommend this film!

It's a crime that this hasn't been reviewed by more people. This is an epic tale of life, loss, sin & redemption, with stunning cinematography and art direction transporting you back in time. The film is equally as heartbreaking as it is heartwarming which is very fine line to balance.

This is simply a very well-done, heartfelt film. The performances are stellar; and the film was clearly guided by a passionate, dedicated production team. There is a lot of love that makes it onscreen, in well composed shots that exemplify the clear story-telling vision of writer/director Leslie Goyette. I need to mention one performance that stands out, even among multiple great performances, that of young Willie, played by Forrest Campbell. As a lover of independent films, I must say Maysville is a genuine stand-out. Spend a couple of hours in Maysville. You'll be glad you did. On another note, please dismiss as total nonsense the one-star ratings you might see here on IMDb. They are NOT indicative of the high quality of this thoroughly enjoyable film.
