Ariela Rubin on UNION COUNTY (2026) Sundance 2026


Union County is a slow, quiet movie about Cody, played by William Coulter, and his brother Jack, who are in a drug recovery program mandated by the courts in Ohio.

The film follows Cody’s daily life, the ups and downs, and the battle of staying sober.

While the movie was slow paced, I never felt bored. It also has a runtime of 97 minutes, which is perfect.

The story might not be that unique, but what sets the film apart is that they used the real people from the drug recovery program, and their lines were unscripted. They also used the real counselor, Annette, who was amazing! and the real judge. That made the film feel more authentic. 

Overall, it was a moving movie and definitely worth a watch.
