Lost Bayou

The acting is superb. Even so, Not everyone will completely understand the Soul of this movie. My neighbors have been the Cajuns, the Creoles and the Southern folks my entire life. This movie tells a truth about Louisiana. While our life stories all differ , they all have the same raw uncomplicated truth about them. Louisiana people are good people that will give you the shirt off their backs. They'll feed you, they'll pray for you and give you a place to heal and , to your delight, will even entertain you. However, don't come to Louisiana and act an ass! You won't like the outcome. If you fool around down here, you will be invited to dine with the gators. Lol.

This movie is an unappreciated gem with strong acting and a plot that left me aching for what happened to the characters

Being someone that spends LOTS of time in the Atchafalaya Basin you come across lots of different people with many different life stories. This film portrays that perfectly. The accents, scenery, quality of life and the mystery of the Basin is perfectly portrayed in the film. Whoever cast this film was an absolute genius. It was NOT a usual hollywood "take a pis$ on Louisiana" film. This film truly dove deep into one facet of life in the Bayou. I have a camp in the Basin and spend lots of time there amongst the wildlife and wilderness of the very place this film was made. It was filmed in the very places that I choose to spend time. That film could have been about the very people I know and love. There were moments in the film I connected with.

FANTASIC JOB LOST BAYOU FILM CREW. You made me cry

Slow-paced drama between father and daughter. Takes place on run-down houseboat on Louisiana Swamp. Not picturesque. Only two main characters. Excellent narrative structure, good resolutions. I liked how it all wrapped up at the end.

They say a freshly fired man thought of this movies plot as he left the Chrysler building with his desk. Not true. But whoever designed this world made leprosy hangovers a real thing. Timothy crane.
