James & Isey

About This Movie

So, 'James & Isey' is one of those documentaries that just pulls you in, you know? The film offers this intimate glimpse into the lives of Isey and James right before Isey hits the big 100. It's got this warm, homey vibe that really captures the essence of Northland. The pacing feels natural—like you're just hanging out with them, witnessing the preparations and celebrations. The themes of love and community really resonate, and the way they celebrate life is infectious. The practical effects are non-existent, but that’s the charm; it’s all about the raw, unfiltered moments between these two. You get the feeling that you’re part of something genuine, something that values connection over spectacle.
