INDIEWIRE: ‘Union County’ Review: Will Poulter Stars in a Sensitive Docudrama About Community Recovery
“Stick-and-poke tattoos tell their own tales, as do cigarettes dangling from shaky hands at Narcotics Anonymous meetings. A bedroom in a sober living house has a collection of paper ephemera taped to one wall, each revealing the personality of someone who, however briefly, called this room home. Meeks and cinematographer Stefan Weinberger pay special attention to the region’s natural beauty, repeating a single shot of a car bobbing over a two-lane highway amid vibrant green hills. The shot takes on a new emotional resonance when it recurs late in the film, showcasing Meeks’ ability to convey profound meaning through visuals alone. “

INDIEWIRE: Will Poulter and Noah Centineo Went to Ohio to Immerse Themselves in the Addiction Recovery System for ‘Union County’
Indeed, cinematographer Stefan Weinberger captures a natural beauty worthy of a Kelly Reichardt picture. And “Union County” the film finds plenty of grace notes amid the toughness of Cody’s journey, such as connections he sparks with other people in the program, as well as while settling into a new job.
THE WRAP: ‘Union County’ Review: Will Poulter Shines in Humane Portrait of Addiction and Recovery
As Meeks and cinematographer Stefan Weinberger take us into the rhythms of their lives, the film’s visual language uses focused rather than flashy framing that almost makes the movie feel like a documentary…
Everything is authentically rendered, whether it is the man bantering at a new job, eating a quiet lunch together, working in the program or finding themselves on the cusp of relapsing. Even in a moment when stillness is upended by a moment of catastrophe, the change takes place slowly and subtly before rapidly accelerating.

VULTURE: Will Poulter Gets His Movie
There’s an overgrown majesty to this world that adds to the sense of wildness, of unpredictability. One quietly climactic scene unfolds near an impossibly green field against a gathering dark sky, and the visual drama of the setting matches the psychological drama of what’s happening. Touches like these — touches that indicate a sophisticated understanding of how to put together a movie — help elevate Union County above a lot of other, similar films.
