45365 takes us on an unforgettable journey into the heartland of the USA. Through beautiful imagery and an open invitation into the participants' lives we have a rare opportunity to meet people we would never have a chance to in real life. From the man who calls 911 because his cable is out to an ex-con who is just trying to get by we walk away with a greater understanding of each other and can revel in a truly American experience.
"Graceful, affectionate and clear-eyed portrait of Middle America." -The Los Angeles Times
"Strange, disorienting and unexpectedly affectionate... It may seem that [Bill and Turner Ross] are crafting a real-world analogue to David Lynch’s creepy visions of American life... the brothers instead create something that is at once both mysterious and celebratory."
-LA Weekly
"Poetry in images." -Chicago Reader
"Luscious... funny, tender, lyrical" -Newcity Film
"Lovely... Harkens back to the early days of direct cinema"
-Paste Magazine
"Meticulously balancing cinema-verite intimacy and dreamlike reverie, '45365' fashions a seductive, fascinating tapestry of small-town life by interweaving seemingly random glimpses of residents in Sidney, Ohio."
-Variety
