About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a gentler Western that mixes romance, moral questions about violence, and a few tense confrontations; Not for you if you need nonstop action or subtle slow-burn romance like The Big Sky.
Pros: tender romance; thoughtful pacifist theme; solid action beats | Cons: slow pacing; romance feels rushed; drags when lead absent
