Preview: Humboldt County (2008)

• Poster: B

Review:

Certainly an interesting visual gesture to the film's pot...I mean plot. Standing on the precipice of life, the poster adds a measure of meaning to the film's theme that isn't adequately expressed in the trailer.

• Trailer: C+

Review:

While pairing the poster and the trailer together to create a universal meaning is effective, most people aren't going to have the benefit of both. The trailer is sufficient to explain the plot in a nutshell, but the emotional and psychological effects of the film aren't easily felt.

Oscar Prospects:

I don't see this being an Oscar contender, simply because of the plot.

Release Date:

• September 26, 2008
