Writer-director Jeff Nichols, making his feature debut, has created a richly textured world. The air is palpably heavy; the film flows at a calm, rural Arkansas pace..."Shotgun Stories" is a cautionary tale about revenge, but more than that, it is a beautiful, authentic-feeling portrait of a family and a place. Nichols is a talent to watch. LA Times review of Shotgun Stories
