The pacing was very small town. The people were believable desperate farmers & family. But the symbolism was my favorite part of this film out of all other aspects! Because we all have repressed emotions somewhere, and eventually it can eat away at us. And these families embodied that, and got super 'fracked up'. Seeing how each character's hidden fears took form, as their desperation grew, was terrifyingly relatable. Also, although fracking is known to produce pollution, this film has us wondering what or who is creating a toxic environment. The ground? The air? The people speaking their opinions about us and our lives? Was it the chicken or the egg? You can take this film literally... But do yourself a favor and dig deeper. (Though please, hold off on any fracking).
