Review of Humboldt County (2008) by Kostas K — 11 Apr 2009

This movie is definitely a sleeper. took a bit to get me interested, but I thought it was a very compelling dramedy. the character of peter, at the beginning of the film, is completely withdrawn and mousy, but by the end kind of comes out of his shell, and develops into the person he was destined to be.

punctuated by fine performances by brad dourif, frances conroy and chris messina, this film is almost inspirational in it message that through the haze, we may be able to see our lives and impact on each other and the earth much more clearly.
