About
You may like this if you enjoy reflective, character-driven westerns with ranch life and a mellow pace, somewhat closer in spirit to White Fang than a shootout-heavy crowd-pleaser; Not for you if you want nonstop action or a neat, rousing payoff.
Pros: thoughtful western mood; strong central bond; striking horse and ranch scenes | Cons: very slow pacing; limited action; divisive ending
