Contains Spoiler!!! I'm not from Wisconsin, but I watched the credits roll and saw thanks to that state, so I'm guessing it was filmed there.
It's evident this is a low-budget film, but I wouldn't call it B-grade, and I never found the acting a distraction. I think they all did well.
It is a sad movie. I found the ending believable and satisfying. This is not to say it was "happy."
My only criticism is: I didn't find the turnaround of the parents, their sudden reasonableness after the shooting on the grain-tower, quite believable. (Quite frankly I expected something else to happen up there, it's okay it didn't.) When they came down from the tower it's as if three years of therapy had suddenly kicked in, only they hadn't been to any therapy.
I suppose a MORE believable ending would've been even more unpleasant though.
A bleak but honest film, worth your time.
