OVERHEIGHT MUST TURN

About This Movie

So, there's this documentary called 'Overheight Must Turn,' directed by Hunter Atkins, which is kind of a deep dive into this quirky phenomenon of trucks slamming into the 11foot8 bridge. The film's tone is almost comedic but also kind of tragic—like, you know these drivers aren't paying attention, but there's an odd charm in watching the mayhem unfold. The pacing is leisurely, allowing you to soak in the reactions of bystanders and the aftermath of each crash. The practical effects are essentially just real-life wrecks, but the way they’re framed makes it oddly captivating. Themes of human error and the absurdity of infrastructure are woven throughout, making you think about how we navigate our world. It’s distinctive for its rawness and the way it turns a simple idea into something oddly profound.
