The Western is alive and well, just looking a bit different.

3/5

The drama sputters and fails to catch fire; it's as if Gilford is far less interested in kindling things and prefers to just look at his pretty cast in a variety of lighting schemes... That said, the toothsome cast is well worth watching.

4/5

The film’s tenderness is borne from its tactility, an emphasis on the physical touch that connects characters.

3/5

Gilford dreams in softened defiance and the backdrop of the New Mexico land elevates an atmospheric wonder to Dylan’s vision. Nonetheless, romantic endeavors and heartbreaks can feel like a roadblock.

3/5

Plummer is again excellent at the head of the cast, here quietly broadening his range with a fine performance that is more than matched by his supporting players.
