“Windsor is kind of an update on The Last Picture Show. A lot of the issues innthat classic about life in a small Texas town are faced here almost fifty yearsnlater. But there is more of a feeling of optimism in Windsor than there was innThe Last Picture Show.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAdam Hicks, Peyton Clark, two refugees from the Disney Channel and Gino Colletti, Nick Krause, Madelyn Deutch, and Quinn Shepherd are six youngnpeople about to graduate. Shepherdu0026#39;s dad is something of a local folk hero,nJoe Stevens decked the representative of a Monsanto like Agribusiness corporation nine years earlier and heu0026#39;s been doing a 10 year stretch in prison, hoping for a parole to see his daughter graduate. Even in the jointnthe other cons and even the guards treat him with respect. Iu0026#39;ve no doubt heu0026#39;s a model prisoner.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe town leader is Barry Corbin who is kind of an unofficial grandfather type figure for the young folk. The people in Hoxton no doubt voted fornDonald Trump in the last election, but a lot of them might be might be doing a bit of buyeru0026#39;s remorse.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNo sex or violence, no car chases no real plot even in Windsor to give. Justnsome interesting character studies in small town Texas of the coming generation. Nearly all of them want to leave Hoxton, but they all are grateful to have been born and raised there and want to bring Hoxton andnwhat it gave them to the world.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNice location cinematography of present day rural Texas characterize Windsor as well. This film did well Iu0026#39;m sure in what is red state America.”
