Castle in the Ground is a somber, if not sober, look at the bleak reality of the opioid epidemic... Go to Full Review

I liked this. It is unrelentingly bleak, but it is very well acted. Go to Full Review

Wolff gives the material his all. If only his efforts could compensate for the film's gradual descent into banality. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
An up-close-and-personal look at a very large issue. It offers no solutions or searing insight as to how the opioid problem spun so far out of control. Instead, it is simply a well-made and well-acted look at life in a time of personal crisis. Go to Full Review
