Michael Clark Epoch Times Aug 10, 2024 3.5/5

It’s moving and heartbreaking, but doesn’t deliver the smacked-upside-the-head-whammy the build-up suggests. After the final bit of information, we realize this movie is more of a “journey” and less than a “destination” type of story.

A sad, minor mystery lies at the heart of this whimsical, sometimes beautiful, yet underwhelming tale of folksy Americana.

If you take the Southern kitsch with a grain of salt, Get Low is otherwise a largely amiable, enjoyable film.

This is a film about a man who doesn't speak to the world for 40 years, and once it comes time, the movie won't let him, or itself, shut up.

Highly unusual drama - with black comedy elements - which allows Duvall to showcase his refined skills.

The ponderous route of the film is livened up by the presence of the deadpan Bill Murray

Basically, it's Hollywood slush dressed up as American Gothic.

It's Duvall's film, and he brings a gravity and poetry to Bush that sets him apart from the script's more prosaic moments.

Get Low is a handmade kind of film. Its ambitions are modest, but fully attained. I rarely use the words ''go see it'', but I hope a lot of people do.

As if it even needs to be said, Robert Duvall really is great as Felix Bush; he reveals himself so slowly and steadily, as to unveil facets of his character and personality only when he sees fit. It's a performance that deserves a better screenplay.

Robert Duvall is 79 now and still hits it out of the park every time.

Duvall's work here has little in way of grand emotional declarations or Oscar-reel moments, but it is a calmly anguished, fiercely committed turn.

Featuring some enthralling performances from Murray, Spacek and last but by no means least the great Duvall, you might find yourself whimpering unexpectedly in this looming yet comical adaptation of a Tennessee fable.
