Review of Junior Bonner (1972) by J.b. R — 20 May 2011
Excellent modern western from Peckinpah that is light and lyrical in the spirit of his 1970 film "The Ballad of Cable Houge". All of the performances are stellar, particularly Lupino as Junior's mother.
The film looks top notch with long-time Peckinpah collaborator, Lucian Ballard handling the Todd AO-35 cameras. The use of zoom and slow-motion border on being too much at times but are mostly used to great effect.
