A Thought Provoking Tale of Isolation and Companionship

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.

Lonely is the brave

I thought about David Miller's LONELY ARE THE BRAVE, especially after one sequence in particular, which I won't tell here, not to spoil the film. A sad story about a man and a horse, a tragic and very poignant tale. A typical american road movie. Maybe some long moments, but useful to this kind of feature.
