Check out indieWIRE's review...
The cool, wet misty plains of the Mississippi Delta offer little comfort to the three protagonists of art-director Lance Hammer's bracing feature debut "Ballast." In fact, the desolate surroundings--yards with broken cars, fields with no harvest, decrepit gas stations--only further reflect their downtrodden condition. But by the time this remarkably sure-footed first film is finished, a slight glimmer of hopefulness arises among the psychological and physical turmoil.
