Movie Reviews of The True Meaning of Pictures: Shelby Lee Adams' Appalachia
Movie Review: Ignorance Goes Both Ways
Summary: 1 Stars
I think Shelby Lee Adams fancies himself the ringmaster of a modern day freak show. He, along with other "artists" in the Appalachian Gothic genre seem to be popularizing the "Woe is me, I grew up in Appalachia" movement; this is trite, insulting and artistically irresponsible. People like Shelby are the reason ignorant people across the country ask me why I am wearing shoes when I tell them I am from Eastern Kentucky. Anyone from the region can look at his pictures and tell that they are staged; that he is profiting off this garbage by peddling it to people eager to gobble up these stereotypes is sickening.
