Review: We really enjoy independent films here at the Legion.  We watch a ton of them and after awhile, even they start to blend together.  One that has recently stood out to us that we’d like to give mention to is Harrison Montgomery.  This story is truly heartwarming in a real-world type of way.  It explores the human connection, lonliness, abuse and has a dramatic flare and a heart-felt emotion attached to it that we rarely see come across well on-screen.  Kudos to this film and we definitely recommend that you check it out.
