A self-consciously quirky, slightly otherworldly tale whose eagerness to win audiences over with whimsy only succeeds at keeping us at arm's length.

Glaciers didn't go through this area, so there's no drift (silt, clay, sand, gravel, and boulders). So the area is therefore driftless. That's very interesting. To geologists.

C-

"The Driftless Area" isn't so much bad as it is trivial and forgettable, but in a day and age of dwindling cinemagoers, and interest in adult storytelling fading from the big screen, its weary insignificance feels all the more criminal.

Boring and forgettable.

One of those cases that the title really says it all by how it was monotonously balanced, enforcing the utter conceptual mystery of the occurring events as the only of the two interest points next to being picked up by the climax. (B- ) (Full review TBD)

Interesting and whimsical crime/love/revenge story. It's not sure exactly what it's going for, as a result, what could be an amazing indie film is a bit wishy washy.

Beautiful scenery, but confusing, meandering plot never really grabs you. Really not a good film, despite the cinematography.
