White Lightnin’ - 2009 - 3/10

What a piece of shooo.
Opening credits read “Inspired by Jesco White.”
First third, maybe, though I think the filmmakers exaggerated.
From there, the story diverges straight into hillbilly nightmare.
Not following the Jesco’s well documented life at all.
In other words, more ghouls exploiting Jesse White.
I have probably watched Dancing Outlaw a hundred times.
Fun - funny - hopeful.
This film is a mess. Exteriors don’t even look like Appalachia.
Carrie Fisher as Pris (read Norma), however, is truly inspired casting!
