35 Miles from Normal is a slice-of-life indie from '97, centered on this guy from Illinois who's grappling with his own existential crises. The pacing is a bit languid, which gives it that authentic, small-town vibe, you know? The performances feel genuine, almost like you're eavesdropping on real lives rather than watching actors. There's something raw about its approach to themes of struggle and the search for meaning, pretty relatable stuff. The practical effects are minimal but effective, creating a grounded atmosphere. It doesn't try to sugarcoat things; instead, it wades through the muck of day-to-day existence, making it stand out in the indie landscape of the time.
