Halfway

About This Movie

Halfway is an intriguing drama that digs into the complexities of identity and belonging. It centers on a recently released convict trying to reconcile his turbulent past with his new life on probation. The film's pacing has this almost languid, reflective quality that mirrors the protagonist’s internal struggle. Set in a conservative white farming town in Wisconsin, the atmosphere is thick with tension and alienation. You really feel the weight of being the only black man in this environment, which brings a unique perspective. Performances are raw, particularly by the lead, whose portrayal captures the nuances of hope and despair. It stands out for its honest look at redemption and the barriers that come with it, making it a notable piece for collectors who appreciate character-driven narratives.
