A dark screwball comedy set in backwoods Alabama.
Peter Sarsgaard stars as a house tuner, hired to go into the homes of the depressed, the sleep-deprived, the anxious, or all of the above, and listen deeply.

If you’re looking for a poignant but somewhat straightforward (and, at times, generic) story line, this movie will give you all the catharsis you’ll need.

A deeply disturbing film with a cast firing on all cylinders.
