Despite the rave reviews I wish I had enjoyed this more.
It was ok up until the final hour, and then it was too pedestrian in getting nowhere.
I was getting fidgety urging something significant to happen, but it concluded with a most unsatisfactory ending.
I found Hunter's character implausible. Would a boy of that age really readily turn his back on the two people he knew as his parents.
Would Travis really try to make amends for his past by breaking up a family and leaving his son with a woman who would clearly revert to type?
There was no explanation as to the four years prior to Travis walking out of the desert.
Yes, it was beautifully filmed and had a lot of atmosphere, but I just did not buy the story.
