I wanted to call my mother immediately after seeing this documentary — a grand jury prize winner at this year’s Sundance Film Festival that also played earlier this year at the Dallas International Film Festival — to thank her for the stable home life she provided for me and my sisters. I couldn’t help but feel blessed for the good fortune of my own life after seeing the film’s heartbreaking portraits of three teenage boys growing up in rural small-town Missouri. With moments that aspire to the visual richness of a Terrence Malick work, Rich Hill is a moving experience, shining a light on a corner of America rarely depicted on-screen.
