About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a quiet, offbeat road drama about regret, family, and searching for meaning, with a modern-Western feel; Not for you if you need fast action or tidy plotting, and it may remind you of Broken.
Pros: striking Western landscapes; strong lead performances; moody soundtrack | Cons: very slow pace; uneven writing; thin character development
