Review of Ain't Them Bodies Saints (2013) by Eric H — 14 Dec 2013
An old fashioned feeling love story between a couple driven apart by a crime gone wrong in 1970s rural Texas. Casey Affleck is Bob Muldoon, the man who takes the heat for a botched job so his pregnant wife (Rooney Mara) can be free to raise their future child.
 Writing letters from jail Muldoon dreams of the day he can return to his wife and kid and a prison break gives him the chance but will she still want him? It may not win many prizes for originality but is a deftly written film, beautifully shot and with solid performances from all concerned.
The real highlight is the score by composer Daniel Hart, a haunting, stunning mix of folk and bluegrass which serves the film well.
