Did you people see the same film I saw?

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

I think I wasted my time watching this movie for however long it was. They had too much going on. Each character which I've never seen before had their own story to tell. I understand that this really do happens in real life and when you are backed into a corner you may make dumb decision. I'm just glad they didn't kill the young sheriff. There was actually other people to kill, i.e. the husband and or the son.What parent don't try to intervene when their child gets a bloody lip or a black and blue eye? Why show us a clip of the son's co-worker and the husband in the truck and not say what the heck that was about? You are left to wander and ask too many questions in this movie.One last thing, the trailer was very misleading and the ending again you are left with more questions.

Brilliant, insightful, provocative..shots of the Kentucky backdrop are gorgeous!! Amazing, intelligent piece written & directed by Kim Levin. The tragic family dynamic will make examine your relationship with your own family & how you see the world around you. JoAnn Kelly did a brilliant portrayal of a conflicted wife & mother, torn between keeping her family afloat or following her moral compass. Neal Huff is a distinguished actor who is well known for his realistic & capturing portrayals of the characters he plays. In Runoff he takes his talent to the next level, with his raw & conflicting emotion riveting the screen.Runoff is truly an emotional journey that will leave you rethinking the choices you make.

This is a great movie that grabs the audience's attention from the moment the movie starts. There is something in the movie for everyone. It was shot in Kentucky but the message is something that everyone, everywhere can relate to. Whether you are from the country or a huge city, you will enjoy the movie.The plot is interesting and makes you think while also entertaining. The director did a great job with casting engaging actors. The shots are brilliant and the actors have great chemistry. This movie will make you smile, cry, laugh, think and want to make a change. A must see. Rating this movie anything under a 10 is a crime!

"Runoff" is a film about a middle class farming family that has found themselves falling on hard times. Betty, the mother of this family, must decide whither to put her personal morals aside to help them out of their rut or watch as their small town life's begin to unravel even more around them.The story is something many people have found themselves experiencing more and more today with the economic hardships. But to see it from a rural stand point just proves how universal the films themes of survival are. You can be from an Urban or Suburban area and still understand what these characters are going through, and decide on if you agree with their actions in the end.The film also gives a great glimpse into the Farming community itself! Almost shot documentary style, we get an inside glimpse of the underbelly of how farms are run and the competitiveness that there is between the small town farmers and the big corporations. You really discover that there isn't really a difference between the American Cultures when you examine them under the microscope that this film brings to light, and that is due part by the fantastic script that Kimberly Levin presents and her directing style.A great script and story isn't all that this film has to offer though, it's cast is stellar. Especially Joanne Kelly, mostly known for her role in "Warehouse 13", who carries the film. For those who are fans of her work as Myka Bering they will be shocked to see her very stripped down and completely raw in what I want to say is probably one of her best performances! Even with there being so little dialog in some scenes just her presence conveys so much. It's not all seriousness either. The story is able to bring out a few good laughs along with really making us examine our own moral values in the end. It's certainly a small film that needs to be shown in a bigger light and totally worth checking out!
