There wasn't a lot of focus on the people on this film. It was hard to grab your attention when there was just filming of people for really short periods. I think if it was just focused on one or two people throughout their lives then you would be able to connect and be an eye opener to how they live their daily lives but this movie only showed small glimpses and most of them weren't entertaining nor important and emphasis on entertaining. Needs more entertainment in this film.
For example the basketball player who wants to go pro or get into a better college. That sounds interesting right? but in this film you didn't really see his life, heck you didn't even see him play a game. If i'm to invest in a character can't i at least see him play a game a couple seconds or something? You could say that with all the people in this film. you'll only see a flash in this film and that flash isn't enough to learn who they are as people. Which is what i think this film was going for to show the lives of people in Hale County. So i think on that front this film failed but if he remade it and went more in depth than i think this film would be really good.
