The Hubby and I saw this in the theater in downtown Charlottesville, a rare splurge in honor of our 23rd anniversary. Even rarer was the fact that we were both equally excited about seeing a newly released film.
Fourteen-year-old Ellis (Tye Sheridan) lives on the Mississippi River, in rural Arkansas, with his parents. He helps his father (Ray McKinnon) earn a living off the river, catching and selling fish. In his down time, he and his buddy Neckbone (Jacob Lofland) explore on the river, a bit like a modern-day Tom and Huck.
