Growing up in Massachusetts, the nostalgia of this movie burst me wide open. One of the most unassumingly poignant scenes for me was of an oscillating fan. It didn't do anything, just oscillated. It made me remember what it felt like to be bored as a child....we're too distracted to be bored nowadays. I used to watch the fan and listen to the sound. That was it.
Also, if you live in Vermont, the scene with the puppets reminds me so much of Bread + Puppet

“Wow, what a beautiful piece of cinema. I LOVE the way they captured the beauty of that natural environment and that gorgeous home. I loved the sense of quiet isolation and stillness - even the sound of cicadas and birds as the consistent soundscape throughout the film. It was so reminiscent of how I felt as a child, growing up in a small town in the 90s. Having to find ways to entertain yourself,”

“A quiet beauty of a little film set in rural Mass in 1991. Big on nostalgia.”
