2010103 min6.7 / 10

A whimsical, character-driven folk tale about a reclusive hermit's unconventional quest for redemption and connection, grounded in 1930s Americana.

A movie spun out of equal parts folk tale, fable and real-life legend about the mysterious, 1930s Tennessee hermit who famously threw his own rollicking funeral party... while he was still alive.
