7/10
Good film, worthwhile.

In The Dirty South, a heartbreaking bartender takes extreme measures to keep her family's bar, when the small town big shot goes after the deed.

I quite liked this, it's engaging and gritty from go to whoa, with a likeable lead performance by Willa Holland. Not perfect by any means and doesn't do anything particularly unique or memorable, but a good film nevertheless. I'd say also what holds it back a bit, is detail missing and moving on to the next scene without visually resolving the current one. Maybe that helped the flow, but loses its impact that way. One example's near the end, when Mark says he came back for her and wants to take her away all this, we don't see the end of that conversation. We just hear her thoughts, that he's not the one for her. I'd assume Mark would be willing to do anything and she'd have to flat out say no, you had your chance. Film has good music too.
