Heartland Film Festival: ‘God Bless You, Mr. Vonnegut’ is a dull documentary about a delightful dude

 ‘God Bless You, Mr. Vonnegut’ is a disappointing documentary. This film  reaffirms the idea that Kurt Vonnegut was a really cool guy, interacting  with the world around him in a way that few other people do. His  overwhelming positivity about other people becomes sort of infectious  during the film, even oddly inspirational. Yet, the documentary  constructed around him is amateurish and aimless. Vonnegut is amazing,  this film is not. And so it goes.

Heartland Film Festival: ‘Alaska is A Drag’ is anything but

'Alaska is A Drag' may be a unique film in it’s premise, but it’s  familiar in a feel-good kind of way; it’s a clever take on the sports  film genre. It’s also just a feel-good movie in general: it’s lovable,  sometimes dark sense of humor is very enjoyable and the leads are an  absolute joy to watch. And at the core of 'Alaska' is an inspiring story  for all those people who don’t fit in and have dreams bigger than their  small town.

Heartland Film Festival: ‘Nathan’s Kingdom’ is a journey that’s worth the hardships

‘Nathan’s Kingdom’ is a gritty, real film that tackles familial  relationships involving a developmental disorder in a way that very few films are  willing to stomach. It’s tough to watch at times (sometimes  unintentionally so), but the hardships make the triumphs all the more  worth it. It really is a beautiful journey to watch all the way through,  with an extremely satisfying and tear-jerking ending. This film is a  must-watch for anyone looking for a heart-warming story about such a  tough subject matter.
