“This can’t be the Middletown she grew up going to every weekend because it had the nearest movie theater” she thinks to herself hours before the Sundance screening…. But it was.
On a sentimental note, I met one of my best friends working at Sundance over a decade ago, bonding because I recognized her area code… Middletown‘s. We grew up thirty minutes away, across state lines and in different high schools, but as budding cinephiles, likely and unknowingly watched many movies together in that Middletown cinema.
We got to watch this together at Sundance, a memory I’ll smile about for the rest of my life.
Great movie, great story, and one amazing teacher. What a gift to receive the lesson of Civic Courage.
As a bonus I got some great local conspiracies from my dad afterward.
Also just so crazy it’s actually about Middletown?!
