Our take
Clean monochrome photography lends a pinbone-sharpness to this uniquely free-form work of docufiction from director Jaydon Martin. Changeable as the quicksilvery company it keeps, Flathead swims in the waters of small-town eccentricity, honest work, and a thirst for something bigger and beyond.
