I just saw this great little indie flick off Netflix the other day. Set in a small Maine logging town, the film intertwines multiple story lines, all centering around a school bus driver (Amy Morton) who makes a fatal mistake, and the ensuing repercussions. Her hubbie (John Slattery, "Mad Men") is on the verge of losing his job, and her daughter is up to no good- possibly tinkering with teenage pregnancy.
I noticed with this film that, along with a lot of good oldies tunes being used (like from the '50s and '60s), you don't see any cell phones. This creates this sorta timeless small town Americana mystique. That AND being set in a heavy winter kinda soaks up the atmosphere and creates a haunting silence. I really enjoyed this film, in fact it's one of those little movies that when it comes to an end, you don't want it to... Adam Driver (of the upcoming new "Star Wars" movie) co-stars.
