here yet another film from the 80 that most people just do not know exists . this slow and picturesque ( the love shot of the montana landscape be breathtaking and remind me of costner recent open range and which also star robert duval ) and and emotionally satisfying film be the perfect type of movie to watch late one night when you can not sleep or on a listless sunday afternoon . those in the right mood will be treat to a finely detailed and intimate look at the grief of one family and how they come back together after the young son accidentally shoot and kill the eldest son while hunt . the performance be all top notch and quietly nuanced . glenn close and robert duval and and wilford brimley be pitch perfect in their portrayal and a be all the support player and young actor . i especially liked how director cain ( who unfortunately hasn not direct anything of note since this except the first young gun ) give u quiet little glimpse into everyone personal grief . we do not just see how the death effect the young brother or the parent and but also the confused middle sister and the wayward uncle and his crazy wife and and the dead teenager girlfriend . what we essentially get here be the rural mid western answer to ordinary people . there also shade of david lynch the straight story in some of the stoic downhome mid west morality of the folk depict here and also in the lovingly haunting shot of the farmland they inhabit . this be one of the good and more realistic tear jerker of the era and and a nice little find for you quality movie hunter out there .
