It is often the last scene of a Wiseman film that hits you the hardest, and that is what happens here. While this is not one of Wiseman's best, it still is a worthy addition to his collection.

The citizens of Monrovia are exactly the same personality types that I met during my time in rural Indiana about 40 years ago. It appears that nothing has changed. I lived in Clayton, Indiana for about 4 years. Clayton is very close to Monrovia, which had the only bank in the area.
I came from the Seattle, WA area, so the whole culture and landscape of Clayton and Monrovia were foreign to me - the flat fields as far as the eye could see and beyond. The social life of people in these farm areas is very structured and life experiences are limited by the narrow perspective of a strictly proscribed culture. I ended up in Indiana because my husband and I wanted to established a thoroughbred stud farm and his parents had a large parcel of land.
When we got there and realized what a different landscape and social structure we found ourselves, I regretted moving there almost immediately. I was in a strange place and I had a lot to learn about middle America culture.
People knew that I was not local. Not just from my non-Southern accent, but from my questions about 1 the religious emphasis in daily life, l 2 seeming lack of interest in local or national government, and 3 attitudes about women and their "place" in society. After returning to the Pacific Northwest after 4 years and Iooking back on my experiences in Clayton and Monrovia, I had a better idea about how people in different parts of America think about life and society in general.
Where we live molds our perspective through exposure to different people and different landscapes. This mockumentary is set in a future Indiana in which people no longer have access to the Internet, don't have smartphones, and don't have political opinions informed by Fox News. The young people of this fictional world have lost their ability to speak; the only people who retain their voices are Baby Boomers, and they are only able to speak about things of no interest to anyone, like whether a certain zoning exemption should be granted for a driveway.
Please: give this topic the full 30 minutes it deserves, so that we can get the richest possible sense of how town councils work in te 21st century. I appreciated Wiseman's bold foray into science fiction, even if the world he creates here lacks plausibility.

In the culture wars we will all be pleased to engage in until our deaths the way things are going , there are, broadly speaking, two stances on this type of community.
Going off from NYFF. Review by Nate. Reviewed briefly at Seattle Screen Scene. Monrovia is a genuinely lovely and quiet town. I'd love to spend my retirement years there but I'd definitely get racially abused everyday because damn bro this town is not diverse whatsoever.
Anyways this is once again observational filmmaking at its best. It's such a fascinating and wonderful portrait of small American town. It's depressing and humourous at the same time. Though obviously Wiseman fly on the wall style is in full display here, he doesn't linger that much on things outside the talky segments and there are more frequent cuts.
Sure it's no "Belfast, Maine" also both towns are quite different too but it's still so highly engrossing, makes you feel you're there in person and that's something….
