Timbertown

This is meant to be a Christian movie about faith and discovering what is important. The three pronged storyline is used to some good benefit but literally nothing happens to anyone or anything until the very end. Dialogue is unrealistic but somewhat engaging with unlikely characters carefully not cursing. This feels like it wants to be an interesting movie but fails utterly to make its point or succeed in capturing attention. 3 stars (grudgingly).

I think this movie was very engaging, though quite different from what i expected.

I don't know why it has poor reviews, unless some people just don't like to know we'll all stand to be accounted for our actions.

I don't know why a movie needs swearing. I didn't think they were carefully not swearing; i didn't like the word used to describe the two punks.

But i think it's about coming to terms with God during, or even at the end of one's life. Maybe the preacher's death was part of his judgment. The DNR man was given a chance to find God at the end. Maybe the husband was ready to die. I wasn't given much insight into his character so that may be his purpose in the movie.

I probably initially chose this movie bc I'm a tree trimmer\remover so I definitely appreciated the beautiful felling scenes and how everything was very realistic as far as lumberjacking. The story took some time to develop because it takes time to properly develop the main characters of a good movie. I loved the rambling homeless guy because he spoke the truth like you'd expect to hear in church, opposite of what you get in the media anymore. I loved all the characters and how all my questions get answered in the end by the homeless wise guy. It's also cool to learn that the director plays the lumberjack.

From the ecclesiastical transient to the symbolic four seasons, there is a genius to Timbertown. Though I think parts of the film will be a little slow for some people I think the film is well done. I loved what they were trying to do with the four seasons part, but it was too long. It would have been more effective if it was shorter.

The characters are eccentric but not overdone. I especially liked the contrast between the transient and DNR officer Pearson. Cory Kays was excellent and could have had more screen time. All and all a solid indie film that might not be for everyone, but those who get it will get it.

I couldnt understand nor hear the beginning words that were spoken!! And it was slow..slow slow dialect!! The actors were like first time acting or something!! Sorry..not sorry!!
