...if only for the clip of Walton Goggins riffing his way through a confession to John Prine, who does a commendable job of not falling apart. The whole thing is not a bad paean to the reality of Southern dysfunction, a la Faulkner and Welty. If you don't believe it exists, or if you prefer your dysfunction Yankee-style, stick with the fiction of Singer and the films of Allen. I can't explain the appearances of Ben Affleck and Jamie Lee Curtis, but the rest of the cast works pretty well. Blethen provides as much outside commentary as this little gem needs. Details such as the cymbal-playing monkey, are, I regret to report, spot-on.
