Set in the 1949 south, this film captures the foibles, prejudices, and complicated relationships that have long marked this region. It also captures one of the realities of small town life - you know your neighbors so well that you're able to weigh what you like about them against what you don't like. Sometimes you just come to accept the bad with the good and you realize that's ok. The film is both entertaining and thought-provoking, a fitting combination during these trying times.
