Neat: The Story of Bourbon serves as a celebratory documentary centered on American industrial heritage and craftsmanship. The narrative structure prioritizes the preservation of tradition and the celebration of a specific cultural product. Because the film frames itself through the lens of a 'uniquely American' spirit, the thematic focus leans toward reinforcing traditional cultural legacies. It functions as a traditionalist piece designed to honor established norms. Ultimately, the film lacks representation that reflects multiple aspects of identity. It focuses on the storied history of the bourbon industry without attempting to deconstruct the hierarchies or demographics inherent to that world.
