Note the S&S Taxidermy t-shirt worn by a band member. That's in West Valley, NY.

Who was looking at her forehead? The whole movie  was filmed in WNY. The  prison he was let out of was the Psychiatric Center in Gowanda. The Denny's they went to was at Eggert , Sheridan  and NF blvd in Amherst.

I've never seen it.  Is it based on any actual events or places in Buffalo?

 

Doesn't it have a nod to Wide Right in the movie as well?

IIRC, Norwood owns the strip club, or spends a lot of time there

Gallo was such a douche. Did bang the hottest and nicest chick from my high school during filming, so good for him, but otherwise a whiny brat. 

 

I don't think Buffalo is the greatest place in the world, but it has its charms and certainly builds character. But it is tough on people who need other people to say "wow, you're great!" and Gallo was certainly one of those people.

I had never heard of it until opening this, so I’m guess that’s a bonus for me! 

It’s an indie film, so if big production and special effects are your thing, skip it.

 

A lot of it is portraying Buffalo as very bleak and depressing. It’s kind of accurate for how some parts were, and may still be. 
 

Some top notch actors. 
I loved it. Very quirky.  But I like quirky. Not for everyone, but definitely check it out.

More or less, not directly but it is implied, a lot of outside shots of Buffalo.

 

Type of movie you only want to watch once but it is interesting.

What's the backstory on that?  I don't know all that much about Gallo but he was in that NFL Films video about the Bills called "A Town, A Team, A Dream" and my impressions of him is that he was kind of a loser/outcast type...so yeah how did he pull that off?

I don’t mind pathos in a film.   He created a vivid world, had an interesting visual style, etc..   I thought Gallo did a good job with the film.

 

The Brown Bunny on the other hand...

Roger Ebert called the Brown Bunny" the worst movie in the history of Cannes".  Gallo responded by calling Ebert a "fat pig with the physique of a slave trader".
