Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDirector and co-writer Ethan Hawke first became interested in the works of Flannery O'Connor in his early teens, when he and his mother lived in Atlanta, Georgia and his mother worked selling textbooks to local colleges. Hawke read so much of O'Connor's works that he assumed she was as well known outside of his household as Abraham Lincoln.
Featured review
Intriguing way to document a determined writer
Writing is a creative process-the movie builds an arc by going back and forth from Flannery O'Connors real life to the stories she writes. We see her determination, fierce authenticity and bravery through her mother's parenting, a love interest, the prejudices, difficulties and limited knowledge of the times and O'Connor's efforts to both get published and stay true to her own voice, pushing the medium of writing itself. The issue (for my friend too) was not being able to catch all the sentences-sometimes the intimate voices got lost in mumbling, and I believe every word is important here. Still got a lot. It has a great ending as well, bringing many things home.
