Review of Let Him Go (2020) by Cynthiajoy — 05 Dec 2020
This movie is a welcome break from the frenetic, manic, self-conscious and market-driven entertainment that is so abundant. I watch that other stuff, but it's tiring the way politics is tiring. Let Him Go is a movie that feels real because the dialog is so spare and the characters are in highly dramatic circumstances of the sort that ordinary people find themselves in.
Of course, the stars are more attractive than most people I know. And if we had another half hour of movie time to use, I would have appreciated more development of the back story of the bad guys. But this was a rewarding movie-going experience with a good story, good acting, beautiful scenery from Montana and South Dakota that is hardly ever featured in movies I watch, the values of middle America, the courage of ordinary people, the evil of ordinary people and a realistic time piece set in the late 60s.
Beautifully done.
