Background
It was directed by Bill Ross IV and Turner Ross. It has a 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and critics wondered if it is a true documentary or partly fiction, perhaps as something that is a new genre, but regardless, generally praised the film.[3] [4] It is about a dive bar in Las Vegas named the Roaring 20s, though due to cost restraints (of filming in Las Vegas) it was actually filmed inside a bar in Terrytown, Louisiana.[5] [6] [7] [8] It includes a number of characters at the bar and tells vignettes about them.[9] It runs for one hour and thirty-eight minutes.[10]
