Morning Glory

About This Movie

Morning Glory feels like a quirky slice of life set against the backdrop of Mayfield's seasonal bloom. The atmosphere is infused with a sense of madness, particularly surrounding Derek Smalls, whose character navigates a web of absurdity and whimsy. The pacing has that laid-back indie vibe, allowing moments of introspection to breathe. Practical effects, though not flashy, contribute to the film’s charm, grounding the narrative in a tangible reality. Performances vary in intensity, but they all add to the film's unique tone. It’s a curious watch, offering layers beneath its seemingly light-hearted surface.

Morning Glory has a bit of a niche following, and it hasn’t seen many releases over the years, making it somewhat elusive for collectors. Its indie roots mean it wasn't widely distributed, so original pressings are becoming harder to find. Interest is growing, especially among those who appreciate its offbeat narrative style and the charm of practical effects, but copies can still be found at reasonable prices for those patient enough to look. Keep an eye out for any special editions that might surface, as they could attract more attention in the future.
