LYNDALE

About This Movie

Lyndale is this raw, intimate piece of work that spans twelve years, capturing the essence of family and place in a neighborhood undergoing massive change. The filmmakers dive deep into the lives of these two brothers, showcasing their evolving relationship amidst the backdrop of a recession and gentrification in Logan Square. There's a kind of grittiness in the way childhood neglect and queer identities are explored, lending a genuine feel to the narrative. The pacing sometimes feels languid, which allows you to really soak in the atmosphere – you can almost feel the weight of their experiences. It’s visually unpolished, yet that’s what makes it distinctive; you’re witnessing real lives unfold rather than a scripted performance.
