Trivia:
The $8 million budget was financed by a wealthy producer-financier, Sam Nazarian of Element Films. more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: Wade's collection of military decorations includes the Army's Distinguished Service Medal. That award is reserved only for colonels and generals serving in a position of great responsibility. Wade's role in the film is clearly not that of a former officer of such high rank. more
Quotes:
Harlan: I've tried living down in the valley again, really tried this time. Walked up and down it looking for one open face, but most people I've meet hardly seem like human beings to me anymore. more

Original, Emotional, Intense!, 17 June 2005
10/10
Author: supremeoverlordmusic from United States

I thought this movie was fantastic!! I couldn't predict what would happen, and it was like watching a great book where you can't wait to turn the page, without having to get my fingers out of the popcorn. But really I forgot all about the popcorn. The acting was great, the music was captivating and really heightened the emotions. I felt so much for Evan Rachel Wood's character and Rory Culkin. But I also reeaally enjoyed Edward Norton's performance. I'd never heard of this director before, but I really liked how this film moved along and it looked great. And, since I live in Los Angeles, it was fun to see such familiar locations. I really recommend this film for people who like substance, not just action. It's not one for the kids obviously, but if you liked any of the Cohen Brothers movies, or Fight Club, or Garden State, you'll most likely enjoy Down In The Valley. I did!!
