In a small American town already devastated by
a mining that left a big group of men dead, the mood only gets darker when the
teenage son of the company man held responsible by many in town for the
accident disappears. The boy was accidently killed in an altercation with
another kid, who then hid the body in the wood to conceal his involvement.
These two events will bring together the dead kid’s mother, the boy involved in
his death and a former minor who survived the mining accident.
While overly dramatic at times, Little
Accidents offers nonetheless a sincere look at a town dealing with dramatic
events the best it can. Such situations will bring its share of conflicts, with
lawyers and the likes being involved. These ordeals tend to tear people apart,
and the filmmakers do a good job of showing that here.
The acting is mostly solid here, especially
from Elizabeth Banks and Boyd Holbrook. This 2014 drama is to be viewed with
minimal expectations, and it should be avoided if you are turned off by dreary
settings.
