I wasn’t sure about watching this film. I saw the runtime and assumed the pace would be slow and probably a bit boring, but I was completely wrong. This family drama captures buried resentment with painful accuracy, while enhancing its storytelling with the beautiful landscapes of Montana, particularly Paradise Valley, which is the film’s main setting.
The performances from Haley Lu Richardson and Owen Teague are incredible. Even though the film can be gut-wrenching at times, there’s also a strange sense of calm and comfort running through it. I think that comes from the combination of the gorgeous scenery and the tenderness of the characters.
It also reminded me how much I’ve always wanted to live somewhere like this. Ever since watching Everwood (one of my ultimate comfort series), I’ve had that urge.
Anyway, I love this film. It might technically be a four-star one for me, but I’m giving it an extra star purely for making me emotional during the horses scene.
