Drought

When you read a review, with a rating of 8/10 or higher, take their review with a grain of salt.

You can always tell a fake reviewer by looking at their profile. When someone gives a movie 10/10, or 9/10, before believing the review, look at the reviewer's profile to see if:

1. They've just joined IMDB or 2. Have only reviewed one or two movies or both

Then you can almost always be certain they're fake reviewers trying to bump up their movie.

This movie does not deserve it's high rating (at the time of this review, it was 8.9). But I have a feeling as more and more "real" reviewers start reviewing this movie, that rating will drop faster than a lead balloon.

VERDICT: If you like indie movies or movies that heavily focuses on dialogue, then you might just like this. But for me, the pace of the movie is too slow for my liking.

This is such a sweet, honest, warm movie. Gorgeous work from hannah black and megan peterson. I will be watching again and i can't wait to see what they make next.

Drought is one of those movies that feels impossible not to like. A fun, good hearted indie flick bestrewn with several moments of emotional brilliance. I can honestly say I was moved to tears by this film multiple times. Hats off in particular to the lead actor Owen. Scheid, who's outstanding performance steals the show in every scene he's in. Really wonderful film.

Thoroughly this one, a real antidote to the endless rubbish i have watched recently. Excellent acting from all involved. More of a road movie than anything else but i enjoyed this one.

I saw this wonderful movie at the Dances With Films festival in 2020 and have thought about it so often since. Drought is a touching and sincere film that tugs at the heartstrings, and even more so if you know or love someone on the Autism spectrum. It is a real indie gem, both funny and heartfelt, featuring perfect performances from Megan Peterson and Hannah Black (who both also wrote and directed with great aesthetic and emotional sensibility) and Owen Scheid, a young actor on the spectrum who brings truth and heart to the role. A great piece of indie cinema, highly recommended!
