Green Is Gold

This is good. Interesting. Complex ideas. It's able to make us uncomfortable at times. I don't see any flaw in the acting. The story is a great story. It's not a common thread. I am happy and uncomfortable with the ending.

Enjoyable movie, sometimes films show us how life is not perfect and for that same reason neither should the film, it portrays emotion well and how the people behind ilegal business are only trying to get by like the rest of us.

I guess if your father is a criminal ... well there is a chance that you may follow in his footsteps. Even after you should know better (him being incarcerated). So we have two sons trying to make do, while their father is locked up. It's a drama and it is very slow paced. So these points right there should be an indication if this is even in your ball park or not from the get go.

Towards the end we do get a lot of suspension but also false drama at time. Or something that feels like it could have been bigger than it is. There is also a "hidden" door, that does not get a set up or explanation until after the fact. Some may not like the movie being unconventional like that at times either. But it works most of the time because of that. Don't expect too many obvious answers either

I love this film. Being that I've experienced many things in this film and am writing one similar of my own, it was a trip down memory lane. The movie was true and authentic to the whole lifestyle of the backyard pot dealer. I loved it. The only critiques I'd have technically would be the audio when they were dealing with the plethora of bags(should have done ADR work), and some cuts had some continuity issues. But overall it was a raw, and true film, only slow in the beginning, but I loved the time the writer took the audience through getting to know the characters. Definitely a good RELATIONSHIP film.

I'm so grateful to the New York Times for identifying this film as an under-watched Netflix offering. I found the writing, directing and acting all excellent. A small story that develops characters more fully than most big budget films do - I was impressed by the leads and then so pleased to see that the writer was not only the director but is also a lead AND real- life brother to the other lead. A simple story that seemed as real-life as can be. I expect and hope to see more work from all involved in this excellent film.
