"I'd pray for folks that's alive and don't know which way to turn."

Rating: 7/10 (13 December 2014)

The first time I watched this film I was in middle school and were watching it to learn about the dust bowl and the migration of farmers. I thought it was boring and dry however upon watching it later in life I came to appreciate the portrayal of a poor family struggling to survive after having lost everything. The story more than anything, is about family and perseverance. The film was visually pleasing, the natural light was good, the camera angles were good, the editing was good, and the score was well made. The acting was phenomenal and very touching. I realize now that it took me growing up and experiencing life to truly understand the meaning of this film.
