Vernon, Florida

Watch Trailer
1981 · 55 min Documentary
6.7 / 10 · TMDB

Early Errol Morris documentary intersplices random chatter he captured on film of the genuinely eccentric residents of Vernon, Florida. A few examples? The preacher giving a sermon on the definition of the word "Therefore," and the obsessive turkey hunter who speaks reverentially of the "gobblers" he likes to track down and kill.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Errol Morris constructs his film as a tapestry of human eccentricity, relying on extended, unvarnished monologues from the residents. He explores the fine line between the mundane and the obsessive, inviting the viewer to find humor, pathos, or profundity in these rambling discourses.

What lingers after the credits is a sense of warm, almost affectionate irony toward these oddballs and their self-contained universes. It’s a meditation on how people forge meaning from the most unlikely raw material. — MovieFinder Editorial
