Miss Meadows (2014)
Too quirky for its own good

Warning: Spoilers
"Miss Meadows" is a really strange movie. While I was watching it, there were times I was not sure what the point of the entire exercise was supposed to be. I eventually concluded that it was supposed to be a (black) comedy of sorts. But the humorous moments are for the most part really low key, and the movie flirts around with some serious material that doesn't mix very well with the comic material. But there are additional problems with the movie. It's really leisurely paced, with a very slow-evolving story. And despite the story moving at an unswift pace, there are some plot points that are not made to be very clear or are not very well told at all. (For example, the character of the sheriff disappears for an extremely long time before reappearing.) This movie is certainly not for a general audience, and I suspect that even many devotees of independent films might find it more strange than entertaining. Despite what I've just said, I do think that there will be some people who will like this movie. If you are really into strange and offbeat cinema and are willing to put up with some serious shortcomings, then you will *probably* enjoy "Miss Meadows".
