The dramatic tension is nil. But the performances, particularly by Hunt (in a non-comedic role, for a change), are worth a look.

... an understated and heartfelt story, superbly acted, with a strong sense of people and place.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Fresh
Despite a meandering tone, Loggerheads is consistently watchable thanks to committed actors playing recognizable, decent folks just trying to do the right thing -- or rectify mistakes of the past.
Steve Murray, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Fresh
This quiet community and family drama set on the North Carolina shore offers a bighearted outlook on how to absorb change and defeat.
Michael Booth, Denver Post
Fresh
Slow, unadorned, compassionate, and earnest, Loggerheads is a low-fi throwback to the independent films of the 1980s and '90s -- heartland miniatures hewn from plainspoken lives.
Ty Burr, Boston Globe
