    Iowa is a film that was written and directed by Matt Farnsworth. It stars him, his wife Diane Foster and some others, including Rosanna Arquette.
    It chronicles the love story of two middle class people from Iowa. They start out normal and then slowly start to self destruct, afte...( read more)r becoming addicted to crystal meth and start to manufacture the product.
    This film kind of reminds me of a really crappy, not good in the least, version of Trainspotting. There was a bathroom scene that was a real stomach turner. There was a lot of sex in this film, just for the point of showing sex on the screen, I think. Maybe all the sex was supposed to mask the horrible acting. In any case, it failed miserably whatever they were going for.
    This film gets one star only because of the extras on the DVD. There is a documentary that I found interesting. They follow a girl named Amber and her family of addicts. Amber was blown up in a rolling meth lab and severely burned. If you get the movie, you may want to skip the feature and go straight to the extras.

There's not much story but there are plenty of colorful, almost David Lynchian drug freakouts. full review

Iowa is so stupendously slipshod that even mentioning the classics it vainly attempts to emulate would be to give it too much credit by association. full review
