Ain’t That America! Audio Review of ‘Holler’
Rating: 3.5/5.0 |
CHICAGO – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com audio film review on the new film “Holler,” an IFC Films new release about a brother and sister trying to survive in a dying factory town. In select theaters and through Video On Demand beginning June 11th, 2021.
HOLLER involves a family anchored by a brother named Blaze (Gus Halper) and a sister named Ruth (Jessica Barden). They live in a Southern Ohio town that is slowly dying, with no jobs and no future. Ruth is a math whiz, so much so that Blaze convinces her to apply to college, and she’s accepted. But Ruth is also conflicted about leaving, having begun a new job with Blaze collecting scrap metal – often stolen from from local shutdown factories – and not wanting to abandon her mother (Pamela Adlon), who is doing time in drug rehab. Will Ruth stay or will she go now?
