The End of Oak Street never explicitly orients itself in a specific time and place early on in the film. It lets the audience see and gather what it wants to about exactly where Oak Street is. It is, however, set in 1982 Flowervale, Michiga...

The writers behind this newsletter.

  • Elevated Lens

    Where films get excavated. With a proprietary depth scale from Surface to Unreachable, we dig beneath spectacle, root out hollow storytelling, and search for the rare films that still have something left to say after the credits roll.

  • Laura Lyn Warren

    Where presence is the point. Gritty, messy, but no less authentic. A space to feed the holy, the sacred, the divine, the mythic, and the gloriously mundane. The raw fuel of my life. The kaleidoscope of color that makes me me, slightly feral.
