My third and final Todd Verow film. "Vacationland" is a reference to the film's setting, Maine. It proports to be semi-autobiographical, which I guess means there's all the room you need for plausible deniability!
As a film, it demonstrates a more complex plot line with a wider range of characters. The cinematography remains edgy toward the amateurish; yet more polished than either of the other two movies--It felt a lot like early Derek Jarman in this sense.
The story is again intensely personal on many levels without being nearly as voyeuristic as "Anonymous".
In the end, I found myself neither liking it or disliking it--I'm just ambivilent about the whole thing.
