That's Hicksploitation: The Origin of Southern Sinema dives deep into the grit of 60s and 70s hicksploitation films, capturing that raw, unfiltered sense of regional identity. The pacing flows like an old Southern road trip—some meandering and reflective, other moments hitting hard and fast. It’s not just about the films, but the culture and the often-overlooked social commentary woven into the madness. Practical effects are given their due, showcasing the clever, if sometimes absurd, creativity of indie filmmakers. You really get a sense of the performances—those over-the-top characters living on the fringes. It’s a celebration of a unique genre, one that’s both endearing and polarizing, echoing the highs and lows of Southern life.
