About This Movie

Redland, directed by Asiel Norton, weaves a somber narrative set against the backdrop of the Great Depression. It's a slow burn, with a pacing that reflects the weight of isolation and struggle. The atmosphere is thick with the palpable tension of rural life, and the cinematography captures this desolate world beautifully. The performances are gritty and real, particularly the young actress who brings depth to her character’s secret affair, which serves as a catalyst for the family's unraveling. There's something raw and unrefined in its storytelling that feels genuine, making it a unique entry in the drama and western genres. The practical effects and authentic settings ground the film in reality, enhancing its emotional resonance.
