Fucking hell, this is gorgeous. I know that I usually
reserve that kind of nuanced, thought-provoking statement for later on in the
review, saving this space for some long-winded wind-up to introduce the film,
but there really is no other way to preface just how beautiful this thing
looks. The feature debut of Joe Talbot, who has been brewing this film along
with star Jimmie Fails for years now (dating back to before they even knew how
to film shit in the first place), this is one of those Sex, Lies, And Videotape
situations where, if not actively told this was a debut, you’d think
it’s the work of someone with at least a decade of produced experience under
his belt. But nope; Talbot is just that damn good.
