Dryland is this intriguing documentary that really captures the essence of small-town America and the lengths people go to for their community. You follow Josh Knodel and his buddy Matt Miller, and it’s not just about the Lind Combine Demolition Derby, though that’s a wild ride in itself. The pacing can feel a bit slow at times, but that just lets the atmosphere of the American West seep in. The struggles to keep their town alive while pursuing personal victories adds a layer of depth. The practical effects of the derby are something to behold—definitely adds a gritty feel to the film. It’s a thoughtful reflection on tradition and change, and you really get a sense of place and passion here.
