Maybe too small-scale to be anything truly special, but an original and witty film that both surprises and entertains.

This is a very personal film from Nelson that is jam packed with ideas and heavily influenced by the Coen Brothers...
September 17, 2010
As a writer-director, Nelson keeps the laughs coming at a steady pace, and never condescends to his articulate redneck characters.

It's a jarringly realistic hybrid that echoes the more surreal aspects of real, rural life, and Norton walks/ambles through it all, sporting dueling personalities and distinct accents, but one very serious heart.

It's not the violence itself that bothers me, it's just that it completely destroys the tone of the movie.

The mirror image gag is one of the oldest in the book, and yet, if done well, it never really gets old.

Mr. Norton is a pleasure to watch, and so is everyone else.

Essentially Deliverance cross-bred with A History of Violence...Leaves of Grass is a peculiar rural yarn and a sweet, assured examination of lost innocence and brotherhood that succeeds largely because of Norton's multi-faceted performance.

An offbeat thriller that is deepened -- rather than derailed -- by its tricky shift from darkly funny to just plain dark.
October 10, 2010
The DVD extras give the film a boost with a well done "making-of…" featurette and a commentary of the film by director Nelson, star Norton and producer William Migliore.
