I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Best movie ever!

A Masterpiece!

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

This movie was awful, nothing in it was real, Jesco White was a thief and a coward, he never won a fight in his life much less shoot anyone, oh... one thing was real, he did sniff glue , lighter fluid, and gas, and Ole man McCoy beat the crap out of him for stealing lighter fluid from his store, and my brother never dragged D Ray he shot him,also Jesco and Dorsey with a 12 gage shot gun, after Dorcey shot at him with a pistol, my brother spent 10 yrs in jail till Jesco made the first documentary and the parole board seen it and let Steve out of prison, these people are scum of the earth, everyone from Boone county are ashamed of Jesco, we were raised and went to school with em, my Mother and Donald Rays Mother ( Oni ) are first cousins, who ever made this show screwed up,,,wish they would have asked me to write the script, I would have made it real, the actors were good in this show, but the story line was 98% false

"I happen to have friends in the "deep south" and their neighbors are moonshiners. Would wake in the morning hearing shotgun blasts, killing wild turkeys? "White Lightnin' puts all the myths of the modern day hillbilly to rest." Hogg is amazing and outrageous at the same time and the cast is strong but the story as cut is just too fragmented for myself to give a slightly better than average review. The film is also too short and I think it needed more narrative to tell the story-line better. Well shot and designed with decent euphoric imagery works like a bad acid trip. Haunting and stays with you equals success for these Filmmakers. Soundtrack is very creative and original, but my only major downer was the too fast, quick cuts editorial. I look forward to this Directors future work for sure! -CSPS-Media

White lightnin' is a work which exudes originality. That first and foremost must be said from this reviewer who is personally tired of the vapid humdrum which is usually churned out by Hollywood on a regular basis. Watching this film, I felt contented that there are still filmmakers out there who display boundary pushing ingenuity in there craft and who are not afraid to disturb the living hell out of you. Dominic Murphy has showed that he is one such director capable of telling you gut wrenching stories without descending into the usual path of incoherence in which so many of these types of films do. White Lightnin' is a film in which the plot never once lost focus of telling the story of the mountain dancing, gas huffing Jesco White. And while the violence, as my previous reviewer noted, is gratuitous and revolting, I never once felt it was incongruous or irrelevant with the story trying to be told. It is also of importance to note that viewing WL is like peering through a window into the destitute "white trash" culture of the poverty-stricken Appalachia. A way of life not assiduously examined through the medium of film. This in part presents the film with a particular boldness that was exhilarating to view.

technically , let's say it was pretty different, black and white picture, quick cuts, very dynamic and engaging. lots of violence at first but then you realize it was not that obvious and direct. study of state of mind of a man who is definitely sick and out of control. i had no idea who jesco white was. i read afterwards about his talent and being an artist.i didn't catch it at the first and i have an impression it wasn't that important, however the film forced me to dig deeper in his story. you may either love the movie or hate it. nothing between is possible. the music is worth listening. it perfectly matched the picture and i can't imagine it could be different.
