Review by Hugmachinemusic

If you're looking for good cry this is it. Without spoiling anything, I'll say that the circumstances of the filmmaker's life growing up in rural America are, on one hand, not that unusual or remarkable. But what is remarkable is that he found out he was part of one big lie, and that the entire town was in on it. And it went on for his entire life until he finally left home at 18.

The secret in this film is actually revealed fairly early so don't expect a big reveal at the end or a lot of suspense leading up to the reveal. The story focuses instead on what the truth behind the secret did to the filmmaker, his family and everyone who was in on it. And on how the filmmaker works through the fallout as an adult after deciding to pull back the curtain and confront everyone.
