Writer/Director Leslie Goyette has crafted a solid film that captures time and place very, very well, and there is some really good acting in the film to enjoy. I watched with my husband, and we both agreed that there is a LOT of quality in every aspect of the production. Spending time in Maysville is time well spent!

An enjoyable film that showcases some remarkable talent
Wasted potential
The kid's acting is the best part of this movie. It started out good and all of the sudden turned to dialogue that sounded like it was written by a 12 year old. The sets are nice, the kids are good actors...and that's about all I can say about this movie. It could have been good....but it just isn't. I honestly don't even think it's the actors, they had total crap to work with. People are saying it's like a hallmark movie but that's being generous. I'm also shocked that they act like there's no depression during this time where everyone has a job and a car to just tool around. Skip this and spare yourself.
Beautifully Captured Period Piece
Immersed in a sumptuous visual feast of a bygone time gave the film a strong foundation. Kudos to the art director, set designer, locations, wardrobe. Extremely well done and an indie film no less. Shout out to the two leads, Cheyenne Barton and Kevin R James.
