Meadowlark



IMDb
Haunting, thoughtful personal documentary
7 October 2011 | by  (Hollywood, CA) – See all my reviews
This is a harrowing and haunting documentary chronicling, in a deeply personal and humble way, a summer in the director's life that changed him irrevocably. Confronting head-on difficult questions around his brother's murder, his own, pre-consent, pre-adolescent sexual awakening, and his dedication to his Mormon faith despite his burgeoning homosexuality, Meadowlark is a delicate exploration into the difficult tracts in director's life and how they shaped his identity and his family's for years to come. This, all placed on a backdrop of the Oklahoma and Montana countryside. Establishing shots are reminiscent of "Paris, TX." It moves at the pace of quiet contemplation, which is refreshing and kind, considering the dark subject matter. Very much recommended as a independent documentary.
