Hey, the search actually worked this time.
But yes, this was incredible. Maybe it's because I've lived in small towns like this (only without the blood feuds, as far as I know), but the characters had a ton of depth, and I was intrigued pretty much from the moment it began to the ending credits. Douglas Ligon as Boy was absolutely incredible for a first time actor. In a role that originally seemed like it would be the comic relief (from the opening scene or two), he really impressed me.
As of right now, I've got this in my Top 5 for the Year... I don't know if it will stay there, but it's damn good, and bordering between **** and **** 1/2 for me.
