Review of Runoff (2015) by Sarah C — 10 Jun 2015

I loved this movie. It's rare for a film to contain such a strong message without feeling like you're being lectured to or preached at. Amazing performances--I had never heard of Joanne Kelly (Betty) before this, but she gives such a natural yet powerful performance, as do the rest of the actors.

Runoff makes you think, not just about environmental issues and problems facing our food supply, but about the moral dilemmas we face and who we prioritize and how far around ourselves we draw a circle. Even if you have no attachment or awareness of farming communities and the challenges they face, you find that you connect with the characters on a personal level.

Even more impressive that this is the first feature from director/writer Kimberly Levin--hope this film gets a wide release, it deserves to be seen on the big screen!
