Lumberjacks

About This Movie

Lumberjacks is a raw, immersive look at the lives of loggers—guys who spend long days felling trees and nights in trailers, often far from family. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing moments of quiet reflection amidst the hard labor. What’s striking here is how it captures their camaraderie, shared stories, and dreams of the women they think about while working. The atmosphere is gritty yet contemplative, a blend of sweat and wistfulness. Zviedris doesn’t gloss over the harshness of their reality, but there’s also a tenderness in how these men open up during their breaks, sitting on the stumps. It’s a unique glimpse into a world many might overlook, yet it resonates with universal themes of longing and connection.
