With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- One for anyone who likes wide open spaces and slow-burning standoffs and people who still love a bit of magic. Dust, horses and a showdown waiting to happen. Sits nicely alongside True Grit or The Hateful Eight.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Lets scenes breathe, at 12 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you like your stories firmly grounded in the real world.
At the height of the 1930's Dust Bowl, a scarecrow must leave his post and find a way to save the only family he's ever known. But facing the outside world proves to be a challenge when your face is a burlap sack.
