Review of Vernon, Florida (1981) by Zachary M — 17 Oct 2016

A bizarre little quirk of a movie with no real story other than exanimating the weird often fascinating lives of the people in a small Florida town. Unlike some documentaries there is no great pondering over the ideals or morals of humanity. Nor is there a big think piece style look into topics like the death penalty, advertising effects on society, or new age religion. It is sort and simple; hear is just one of the hundreds of small rural towns in America and here are the people who inhabit it.

Maybe not everyone's taste, but it makes for a striking and yet effective character study.
