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 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.

Unfortunately this film is very very realistic. I thought it was well made and is a story that has to be heard.

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.

A film about love and loss. Understated. Beautiful. Heart wrenching. Life affirming. Touching. Achingly sad. All of these yet uplifting at the same time. Manchester by the Sea on a low budget. Both films brilliant in their own right.
