She’s given admirable support from Mexican-born co-star, Demian Bichir - with the rugged Wyoming locations lovingly captured by cinematographer Bobby Bukowski. This is one for those who are not attempting to hide from reality but want to steep themselves in the everyday truths of life and in this case, life in the land at its wildest.

No superficial love story here but a survival learning curve (suicidal even) chosen by a city woman to overcome a great loss and the unexpected alliances that develop on her journey.

Actress Robin Wright's feature film directorial debut tells this heart-tugging story capably, even if somewhat conventionally and with character development that definitely could have benefitted from supplemental strengthening. Nevertheless, thanks to Wright's strong lead performance, stunning cinematography, nicely sustained pacing and a solid finish, this offering certainly shines in the areas where it matters most. This may not be earth-shattering filmmaking, but it's certainly an impressive start to a budding career.… Expand
