“Paintings and still photos have negative space, the area that surrounds the main subject of an image. That term applies to cinema as well, but in a more complex and elusive way. In cinema, the negative space isn’t only pictorial. It can also be sensed in the room tone that fills up pauses in conversation; in an over-the-shoulder shot of a man walking a woodland path, accompanied only by the sounds of birds, insects, and his own footsteps; and in the uneasy moment between a fade to black and the start of a new scene. “Union County” is as much a study in negative space as it is a thoughtful rendering of people trying to move beyond addiction. At the center of each frame is an individual, and all around them, life.” ~ Matt Zoller Seitz, RogerEbert.com
