Romie M @RT10402884 May 24 A movie whose main character is a bronc-rider evolves into a deeply humane meditation on the brokenness of the world, and a meditation on a famous Robert Frost poem. None of the actors act; they live their characters. The portrayal of relationships is quietly riveting. The editing seems fractured but, by the end, it enables the film itself to epitomize the brokeness of the world. See more Scott S @ScooterGuy Apr 19 A good movie with absolutely horrible editing. If someone took this movie and re-edited it to align with real time, it would be a great movie. The time jumps are a complete distraction. Dennis Quaid and the other actors did a great job.

I tried to keep track of where we were based on hair length, but that was no help. I counted at least three different, badly-interwoven eras, none of them satisfying or, for that matter, vaguely entertaining. Maybe not such a good idea to cast a 40-year-old in the lead, with a 30-year-old trying to play a teenaged brother, and a 70-year-old dad. And an attractive 27-year-old woman is supposed to be attracted to a serial liar, sadomasochist drug addict with a pudgy body? Had I not promised to watch all of it based on a recommendation from a good friend, I would have shut it off about 10-15 minutes into it. He and I are gonna have a serious talk about this ... See more M E @Western-Critic Mar 1 I give it an extra half star for the scenery in the latter half of the film. Otherwise, I found the "blizzard survival" portion of the film utterly unconvincing. SPOILER ALERT. How could a tough, farm-raised boy go into the high country so utterly unprepared (and, come to that, how did a veteran bronc rider let his horse get away from him, and get tangled in a rope and dragged, in the process? It makes no sense. Maybe because of his drug-addled brain?) See more Haley S @Mama-h Feb 14 This movie shows a lost soul finding his way but leaves a lot unanswered. The main character is not very likable or interesting, and the plot of the movie is somewhat bland. I do think that the flashbacks during his survival period were thoughtful and well executed.
