The real America Down to the smallest details. Plumber’s performance resonates deeply within.

A sincere movie about the struggles of a teenage boy with tenacity and vigor for life. Charlie Plummer is a great actor on the rise.

This drama is honest & heartbreaking. The young actor playing lead, Charlie Plummer, is outstanding, hitting every scene just right. Sadly many aspects of this story are quite realistic.

Good movie until the ending which was so depressing. Not a feel good at all.

Haigh takes what could easily have been a saccharine and emotionally manipulative story and makes something more honest. This allows the movie to earn it's most powerful moments.

A good watch if you have the time however I expected the film to be a horse movie but it was just about the boy. I don't think the story really went anywhere after the 1 and a half hour mark. Overall the acting performances are acceptable and the first half was good but afterwards it didn't really go anywhere. I would have liked to have seen a bit more bonding with him the horse and the owner as like a father figure to him but I guess it is okay what we got in the end. So yeah decent watch but expected better. Grade: B

I thought I was watching a movie about a horse. Turned out the horse was just part of the set. The other established actors also just have small walk on parts. It is not that Charlie Plummer does a bad job acting; his character is never really developed to the point where I give a *uck. Even his conversation with the horse does not really delve into his psyche. Gotta love what they did for the horse at the end.

A teenage boy goes through a lot of trauma before finding maybe some peace. Emotional without being sentimental. Charlie Plummer does a great job,

Without a doubt the most wretched film I have watched in this century. Horribly written, plot holes you could drive a pickup truck and horse trailer through, aimless direction, thematically pointless. IF given a choice between watching this and smashing your big toe with a hammer, invest in the hammer.

This is a film all about isolation and companionship. It is relatively slow in terms of plot pace but I thought it was quite contemplative, a good character based film and so I wasn't entirely bothered by the slowish plot pace. You could almost argue that its like a form of mindfulness in a film, with Charley being fairly quiet and thoughtful. We learn a fair bit about other people who work on the farmland and with the horses. The sense of wilderness is quite sobering. Also the lack of dialogue at times made it seem quite poignant to me. Overall its an interesting, observation/character based drama which I enjoyed quite a lot. Would I recommend it? Yes, I'd happily recommend this film, as long as you know its not fast paced or action packed. For what it is, its a very good film.

Came across this movie while hunting on HBO. Never heard of it before. I couldn't stop watching it the whole time. This si the kind of movie that leaves you better when it's over. Such solid performances and such a rich story. I don't understand why I never heard of it.

Charlie Plummer is one of the promising actors of his generation and I tell you why. He brings emotions, he has great technique and chooses carefully the best independent movies to star in. The movie is beautiful, intense and well-written. A different rare movie. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Charlie Plummer è uno degli attori promettenti della sua generazione e vi dico perché. Porta emozioni, ha una grande tecnica e sceglie con cura i migliori film indipendenti in cui recitare. Il film è bello, intenso e ben scritto. Un film raro diverso.

I thought the story was good overall but felt it could have been better as it left a lot of loose ends by the end. Also, there were a lot of points in the story where you didn't really know where he was on his journey to Wyoming which would have been helpful to follow the story better.
