STORYCONTEXT: Matt Damon, John Krasinski, Frances McDormand; Dir. Gus Van Sant, 2012

A very good dramatic film that deals with the temptation and dangers of fracking, explored through the lens of one community confronted with the choice. Very fine acting by Matt Damon, John Krasinski and Hal Holbrook, as well as all the supporting cast. It’s a movie with a message, but a movie first. Intelligent and articulate rural characters, charismatic hustlers with complex motivations, a romantic triangle where you’re rooting for all three people, decent people on both sides of a battle with high stakes for everyone. And a beautiful rural American setting where ruin is on the horizon the setting itself an object example of why the choice to frack or not to frack is an important one. \~ *May 23, 2020 / On Facebook* (1)
