Easily one of the very best movies I've watched in not just 2023 but in a very long time. Garrett Hedlund, Mel Gibson (no surprise as far as he nails another role), and Willa Fitzgerald are all award-worthy for the parts they play in this never-heard-about (speaking for me at least) beautiful, easy-to-put-yourself-in-each-character shoe drama. It's REAL. I'm not quite sure why Hedlund hasn't been given a big-time lead role in either a Movie or a dramatic-type TV role. Mel as usual just falls right into place with his role and Fitzgerald shows her dramatic chops with her portrayal of a complicated, wanting-to-do-the-right-thing type of person. Sorry for the run-on type review, long story short, it's an easy way to spend a late Fall or early Winter night.
