Great performance from The Wire's Wendell Pierce, as a preacher with problems in the deep south. The film has flaws (not sure some of those camera angles were warranted and some of the monologues are a tad too long) but it is ultimately a pretty rewarding tale of addiction, poverty and religious hypocrisy.
Director Phillip Youmans was 17 when he made this. When I was 17 I couldn't make my bed. He apparently bugged the makers of 'Beasts of the Southern Wild' on Instagram to look at his work and they agreed to help get a feature produced. It's only 76 minutes long but if this is what the kid does at 17 then his career is going to be pretty fruitful.
