I guess I haven’t seen a movie that would present a better description of the situation in the USA during the economic crisis. Excellent acting performances by Sally Field, Danny Glover and John Malkovich come together with a story that includes all the positive and negative things that you could encounter at those times. Get ready for tornadoes, a sea of cotton, a black guy… Then also for people who respect people of all races, but also for people who dress up in white robes and who are trying to exterminate black people. This film contains all those things and it manages to join all that into such a nice human story that it’s a pleasure to watch it for the almost two hours. ()
