I was very fortunate to watch "Mitchellville" last night on the Sundance film channel.
Let me just say that I thought this film was engaging and thought provoking. At first glance one would think the dialog and the acting to be simple and unremarkable but upon further examination we see the protagonist in a complex environment who is trying to make sense of his surroundings weather it be at work or in his relationship with his wife.
In many ways there are elements of this film that one can identify with. As much as we like to put everything in a black or white box, the reality is that life will not allow us to do so and because of this we have to confront our own "right's and wrong's" and see if we are capable of living with those decision's. John D. Harkrider did a brilliant job of portraying this message. With this in mind, one will see that "Mitchellville" is an incredibly complex story that deserver's full attention.
I do hope Mr. Harkrider's continues to pursue writing/filming.
"Mitchellville" is definitely a must see film!
