Blood Country

Great to see other talented actors for a change; superstars can become cloying after a point. Also didn't miss miss overacting and the usual hype of Hollywood fare. The narrative did not convey artifice, nor did the actors. On the whole, a brisk Southern wind ripping raw through this gripping take on Faulkner's world.

The school quality actors who deliver the dialogue in this epic tale almost succeed in turning a dismal period of U.S. history into comedy as they converse with each other. Watch it the next time you are dealing with insomnia. It might just become your favorite sleep aid.

Not sure why people had issues with not enough evidence of innocence or guilt. It was pretty obvious to me and the resulting actions afterwards were of a guilty and vengeful man. It made it easier to imagine he'd kill his own kin .

I'm sorry...but I did really like this movie. I just can't figure out what the story is. In fact, I came to this site to see if somebody could explain it to me. Unfortunately, nobody else seems to understand what happened either.

There are just too many pieces missing in this movie. I like the sheriff...he's definitely a good guy who tries to do his best. I loved his feisty wife! The Black family situation made me angry, I never did understand what was happening with ...shoot, almost everybody. I just wish I understood the story.

One last thing; I looked for a book to read that maybe this movie may have been taken from, hoping to make some sense of this film but there doesn't seem to be one...at least not one that I could find. There must be someone out there who knows what this movie is about. Share it with us, please!

I still don't get who did what to whom?

I like the movie-craft, but spent the whole time watching trying to figure out whether the primary (but, not the sheriff) did it or what? Or, was there some framing going on... but by whom? I came here because I was searching the web to find out if somebody else got it. Maybe there was more clarity in the book.

I hope somebody who saw this lets me know.
