This stuff keeps me up late at night
I read another top ten list with no mention of Northfork or All the Real Girls. Yet again the regional and cultural biases of critics conspire to keep something new out of the public eye. Why do critics warm up to the old South stereotypes perpetuated in Cold Mountain and ignore Southern characters that are far more nuanced, interesting, and ultimately fulfilling like in All the Real Girls. Critics have fallen over themselves to gush over Angels in America, but put those angels on the high plains of Montana as Northfork did and it’s forgotten. Listening: Tuff Luff - Unicorns
