It was my privilege to view this amazing film at the equally amazing Rising Sun International Film Festival held at Brick Hall, a classy venue in Garden Paradise Kitakyushu in November 2020. Everyone present absolutely loved the film and raved about it after the screening.Niels Mueller put together a wonderful cast and crew who gelled perfectly to create what could be called a masterpiece. The movie was perfectly paced and deeply touching. Its scenery and score match the story and script beautifully creating a truly wonderful film to watch on the big screen. Thank you to the creators of this film and the festival that screened it.
You know how you feel when you finish the last page of a beloved book and you're so sad you have to part ways with the characters? That's how you'll feel as the credits roll for Small Town Wisconsin. This beautiful film invites you so personally into the fully relatable lives of each incredibly well-developed character you'll quickly feel you've known them your whole life. Maybe you have? And as you travel across Wisconsin you're emotions are along for the ride including carefully woven and marvelously executed (bravo/brava cast!) and nuanced humor to balance the raw poignancy of this tale. This is one that lingers with you for days until you can't help but re-watch. I'd love to see a sequel...
Amazing job by director Niels Mueller! The film does homage to small mid-western cities and masterfully portrays real life family struggles. Fabulous film!
A real setting, with real people, real dialogue, and real complex problems. No easy solutions in this one, either, because that's life! Kudos to filmmaker Niels Mueller and the entire cast and crew.
An honest movie that is extremely moving. Children split from one of their parents, bitter custody battles, depression from being torn away from your kid is a topic that not many movies touch on but is a major problem. If you add alcoholism to the equation things get gloomy and dark. Wont get into the story to avoid spoilers but I have mention Kristen Johnston and the love she shows to her broken brother. Her performance is phenomenal in its simplicity and authenticity and covers an important topic not covered much in that in these gloomy circumstances many times there is support and Kristen Johnston compassion goes right off the screen and into your heart. Cannot say more cause of spoilers but can say WATCH THIS MOVIE and there will be tears and hope as well.

- GoofsEarly on in the movie, the road signs are clearly visible, showing the filming is in Palmyra, WI near Whitewater. This is about 1 hour southwest of Milwaukee making the road-trip perspective pointless.
