Simply A Masterpiece
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
This is a wonderful story beautifully shot somewhere in the American Southwest, Arizona or New Mexico my guess. The child actors are superb. The story kept me guessing, and, unusually, I was surprised at the twist in the tale. Great job to all involved. (No jump scares or sex scenes--some mild gore in keeping with life on a pioneering homestead). Mostly this film made me look at my own future death, and caused me to really want to be ready when that time comes.
I started watching without any expectations and soon realized it was a very "simple" and slow movie but its very compelling because of the characters, its a beautiful story about a bond between siblings the whole movie revolves around a brother and a sister left to survive on their own,in essence its really about hope,trust,family in a very simple backgroundIf you are thinking whether you should watch or not The Movie doesn't have all that many dialogues, most of the story you have to intepretate yourself (its not hard) if you go into the movie without great expectations and just looking for a nice movie about siblings you should not regret this one.
