One of those movies that’s just laced with magic. Carried by some top notch performances from Ryan O’Neal who is so naturally funny and charismatic as a swindling conman, John Hillerman who checks in at the end to put up an absolute heat check of a dual performance as a bootlegger and his sardonic, corrupt sheriff brother, and of course Tatum O’Neal gives a performance that is remarkably nuanced for her age as Moze’s clever partner in crime. Not only is she just as charismatic as her cinematic(?) and real life father, but so much of this movie hinges on her character’s observations of the unknown world that she is moving through, her cunning nature, and her healthy distrust of the adults she encounters, all of which is sold by her with incredible grace. It’s captivating to watch and maybe the best child performance I’ve ever seen. It’s no wonder she won that Oscar. The period detail and grainy texture of the country landscapes captured in stellar monochrome makes you wonder why we ever even bothered with color photography. Poignant, touching, and frequently funny, it’s a real joy of a movie.
