The haunting Natchez is a potent choral portrait of a town reliant on its antebellum past to survive, and how its idiosyncratic citizens navigate — and reflect on — their town’s history and memory. With an observant lens, Herbert foregrounds a dynamic array of distinctive residents — from the outspoken and thoughtful “Rev”, a preacher who provides comprehensive tours of the town and is the self-ascribed “best tour guide in America”, to the charming hoopskirt-wearing Southern belle Tracy. With palpable intimacy, Herbert’s film reveals a looming reckoning that asks the question: who gets to tell America’s story? —Jose Rodriguez, Tribeca
