By Tonya V (143) on 02 Sep 2010

It's a movie that I might need to watch again. It held my attention but when it ended I still didn't quite know what to think…

By Sarah P (975) on 21 Aug 2010

A minimalist film, but with a lot of heart and emotion. No glitz or glam here - just a peek into the life of a family…

Ballast looks beautiful, and I want to see what Lance Hammer does next, but someone needs to kick the shit out of this kid…

Awesome film! Just watch it!! (Has choo-choos in it, so you know I was excited! BUT, CN trains run through the Mississippi Delta? Hmm?)…

Review of Ballast (2008)

By Kris F (28) on 06 May 2010

A major disappointment of a film, I had waited for a year to finally see this and now I'm just dumbstruck by the fact that it had no effect…

Review of Ballast (2008)

By Nick A (1,097) on 26 Apr 2010

Ballast has the quiet power to turn tragedy to miracle. There are few films that can do that, and fewer can do it so selflessly…

Review of Ballast (2008)

By Lee M (4,001) on 16 Mar 2010

This austere, rigorous film has a sense of place, a feeling for reality so compelling it makes us feel like we are living it, not just watching…

Review of Ballast (2008)

By Yama R (82) on 27 Feb 2010

I don't buy it. A few decent moments here, but they are drowned in a sea of endlessly stretching shots of blank faces and still figures…

Review of Ballast (2008)

By Jake R (447) on 17 Feb 2010

A cold movie, with the occasional oasis of human connection, Ballast takes you to a place where people aren't close to one another and most…
