The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia

1981 · 112 min

A scruffy, downbeat road movie that drifts between honky-tonk dreams and sudden violence, leaving a lingering ache.

Tagline: You're never too young to learn the score.
Overview: An aspiring country singer and his feisty younger sister/manager struggle to reach their dreams of Nashville stardom-as long as she can keep her brother out of trouble with the ladies and the law-in this drama "inspired by," but not really connected to, the hit '70s ballad.
How it feels: Melancholic, dark, earnest and warm. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Ambition, family, grief, revenge
Content: Mild violence, gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
