Real Stories Behind the Screen | Los Angeles News

In “Union County,” Will Poulter delivers a hauntingly authentic performance as Cody, a young man battling addiction and seeking redemption in a rural Ohio rehab program. Directed with raw sincerity by Adam Meeks, the docu-fictional drama blends real recovery stories with fictional characters to create an immersive, emotionally charged journey. Cody’s quiet struggle contrasts with his more outgoing brother Jack (Noah Centineo), who pushes him toward connection and purpose — even hinting at romance with Anna. Grounded by unflinching realism and subtle cinematography, the film doesn’t just depict recovery — it breathes life into its characters, offering a tender, hopeful glimpse of renewal amid hardship.
