Walter Foote's first film, like many of his father's (Horton Foote), tells the quiet story of real people. It showcases the drama inherent in everyone's daily life. By resisting the urge to delve into fantastical or extreme scenarios, Foote tells a story that regular working people can relate to. Ronnie and Dave's journey is one that we can all easily tag along on, and sympathize with as it turns inside out.
