    Summary

    Reviewers say 'tt11888084' had major issues with structure and pacing, making the narrative confusing due to frequent shifts among three generations. Character identification was difficult, and the choppy editing lacked coherence, preventing the story from reaching a clear point or maintaining a consistent atmosphere. The film was deemed overly long, with repetitive home movie scenes causing it to drag. Despite these flaws, the characters' interesting southern traits suggested potential for improvement with better editing and organization.

    Work in progress, not final film quality.

    Nice idea, but had major problems. First, it was quite confusing with shots going back and forth among three generations with stand-ins for some older relatives in their youth (I'm assuming) such that it was not always clear who was who. Second, it was so chopped up as to be almost stream of consciousness which kept it from driving to any point or even sustained ambience. And third, it could have told the same super simple story equally well (or better) in one-third the time, i.e., In desperate need of an editor and organization. Showed the same old home movie scenes numerous times, and really started to drag after a bit. Interesting characters, as southern characters tend to be. Needs a rework.
