gotham AWARDS outstanding performance
STAGGERING . . . a tense neo-Western led by a magnificent Thandiwe Newton that earned her a coveted Gotham Award nomination for Outstanding Lead Performance.
★★★★ from roger ebert
Western Montana is a wild place, full of beauty and desolation, though God’s Country dwells more upon the latter. In its forlorn depiction of this vast, mountainous sweep, the ground is frozen and hard, and the people who live there are much the same.
