Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe community and its racial tension is closely based on the true events that occurred in the community of Levittown, Pennsylvania in 1957 when an African American couple, William and Daisy Myers, along with their three young children, moved into a house in the Dogwood Hollow section of the suburban neighborhood. Their move to Levittown was marked with racist harassment and mob violence, which required intervention by state authorities. Despite this, the Myerses continued to face harassment for nearly three months. This led to some of the residents being charged and served an injunction. The Myers family received national attention and support. The Myers family eventually moved to York, Pennsylvania in 1961 after William Myers accepted a job offer in Harrisburg. He later died in 1987 at age 65. Daisy Myers later wrote an autobiography in 2005 about the experience titled 'Sticks 'N Stones: The Myers Family in Levittown'. She worked as a school teacher for the York School District for over 30 years. She was called the "Rosa Parks of the North". She died in 2011 at age 86. The news interviews that appear on TV in the film are from the actual citizens. They come from a documentary called "Crisis In Levittown, PA" from 1957. It can be found on Youtube.
- GoofsWhen Hightower visits Gardner in his office he is addressed wrongly as 'Lieutenant' multiple times although his Captain's bars are clearly visible and he was addressed with his correct rank in their first encounter earlier in the movie.
- Crazy creditsAt the opening of the film, the movie title is shown on the cover of a book describing life in the town, which becomes animated.

Featured review
I have a policy that I won't watch a movie unless it has an IMDB rating of 6 or more. With a 5.7 rating, I almost gave this movie a wide berth.
That is, until I learned the Cohen brothers wrote this, George Clooney directed, and of course it's difficult to not enjoy any Matt Damon flick -,period.
Near impossible to walk away from all that - no?
I'm so glad I chose to ignore the 5.7 rating. Everything is teriffic, wonderful script, director doesn't dominate the direction and the kid is sublime. Stole the show,
Matt Damon doesn't disappoint either.
Was gonna give this a solid 8 but I'll change to 9 to nudge to 6+ where it deserves to be.
WATCH IT - YOU WON'T REGRET !!
