The simplest way to describe “Hale County This Morning, This Evening” — and maybe the best way, since it’s a film of elemental radiance — is to say that it’s a documentary put together like a series of photographs. In this case, the photographs are filmed images, so they in effect come to life. The director, RaMell Ross, moved to Hale County, Alabama, in 2009 to work as a basketball coach and photography teacher, and the film is his impressionistic portrait of the life he found there — a caught-on-the-fly tapestry of experience. James Agee and Walker Evans shot some of their most famous images in Hale County, and Ross’s film could be considered a raw ragged lyrical answer to their mythologies. Filmed over several years, “Hale County” is a diary of a time, place, and culture, and you could call it a transcendental scrapbook, because it wipes away the muck...

RaMell Ross knows the press notes for his first feature can be misleading: “An intimate portrait of a place and its people, ‘Hale County This Morning, This Evening’ follows Daniel Collins and Quincy Bryant, two young African-American men from rural Hale County, Alabama, over the course of five years. Collins attends college in search of opportunity while Bryant becomes a father to an energetic son.”
For a doc-savvy viewer, it’s a description that conjures a certain type of well-trod character portrait. One seen through the lens of a well-intentioned, socially conscious filmmaker, probably white, who uses these men’s lives as a way to shed light on the systemic struggle of black men in this country. And that’s not Ross, or his film.
“No one really spends five solid years with someone in order to represent their life,” said Ross when he was a guest on IndieWire’s Filmmaker Toolkit Podcast.

A nose getting pierced. A baby’s softly rounded belly. A plume of smoke lingering up into the sky. These are just a few of the unexpectedly compelling images RaMell Ross presents in his assured directorial debut, Hale County This Morning, This Evening. Set in a rural area of Alabama and loosely following the lives of two young men, Daniel Collins and Quincy Bryant, this documentary eschews narrative convention in favor of an impressionistic, scrapbook-like style. Ross has a generous approach: Daniel and Quincy aren’t talking heads, but just men living their lives. A scene of Quincy’s adorable young son running back and forth across the living room would likely be cut by most directors. The energetic imp runs around and around and around, to the point where it might test our patience. But Ross insists on capturing him, even letting him come all the way up to the camera,...

One of the most poetic, transportive documentaries of the year is RaMell Ross’ Hale County This Morning, This Evening, a portrait of life in Alabama told in fragments. Premiering at Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, where it picked up a Special Jury Prize, I caught it at Closing Night of New Directors/New Films was astounded the amount of life Ross packed into a formally bold 78 minutes. Ahead of a release in a few weeks, Cinema Guild has now released the first trailer for the film which features Apichatpong Weerasethakul as a Creative Advisor.
Dan Schindel said in his review, “The doc has a special interest in repetition, like a basketball team going through its drills or a toddler running back and forth across a room playing some game that makes sense only to them. Chronology and specific geography are purposefully difficult to discern, though the 2017 solar eclipse makes an appearance.
