HELL OF A HEARTACHE
2020·1h 28m·★ 9.0
Rob Burson wrote,directed and stars in the 2020 indie drama HELL OF A HEARTACHE. The film introduces us to Bobby Thompson, a musician whose fleeting success in country music has trailed off to small town bars where the alcoholic singer shakily holds things together. Barely responsible for himself, Bobby's hazy life comes into sharp focus when a old fan stops by and leaves her twelve year old daughter with him, swearing he's the father. We see father and potential daughter cautiously size each other up in his beat-up motel apartment while they wait the 10 days for the DNA results in the mail.
