If I didn’t know that Taylor Sheridan was busy creating a bazillion different TV Series, I would swear this was one of his films. This neo-western starring Thandiwe Newton is definitely a slow burn, but I felt the pace suited the material perfectly. Newton gives an outstanding performance. The film attempts to at least touch on a wide range of social issues, but the results are mixed at best. Sandra (Newton) doesn’t always exemplify sound decision making as her motives are often questionable. Still, it’s an enjoyable watch even if the ending escalates a bit beyond belief.
