The first thing you notice about Lebanon, Pa. is how freaking gorgeous it is. There was a time when you came to a festival like SXSW expecting its indie world premiere slate to largely feature movies that look like they were shot through a screen door. Ben Hickernell's second feature, "filmed" on a $15,000 Red One camera in Philadelphia and surrounding communities, looks as good as any moderately budgeted studio feature, and better than most. The fact that filmmaking has become so cheap anyone can do it is repeated so often that it's become a truism, but I'm not sure any movie has illustrated it as starkly as this one. The effect is amplified by the fact that I saw Hickernell's debut, Cellar, five years ago at the now-defunct Philadelphia Festival of World Cinema. It did not look like this.
