While set as a Western, shot in an awesome location in New Zealand, it's more of a character piece. No gun blazing here. It's the end of the Wild West era 1925 with Horses giving way to cars. A rancher and his brother are on a cattle drive. They meet a window and her young awkward son. Soon she marries the gentlemanly brother and moves to the ranch. Where they are tormented by Benendict Cumberbatch's character. At his awesome best in a more different role for him as a complex bully, mancho man exterior with a hidden depth to him.
Definitely an intellectual film with many layers and aspects to it. A lot of questions hinted at for the viewer to fill in the blanks. By the end it's a simple story told very intricately. Some great actors and beautiful photography, this will hold up well to repeat viewings.
It is very slow going to the payoff at the end and isn't the sort of film that will appeal to everyone. If you appreciate good acting and storytelling though check it out.

What this is, right, a massive hit of steam, a little bit of drama, an emotioanl connection off the chats (eventually!) a lotta love and. . . .kitties. . . .all wrapped up in 292 pages of lushness that I absolutely must tell you about!!
I mean, it's so freaking cute! Teddy has crushed on Cassius for years, and then the meet cute?? oh my days!
It's steamy. Cassius, though 15 years older than Teddy, has very little experience in the dating game or relationship game.
It's emotional. Teddy feels unseen. As a probie and a little brother. But Cassius SEES Teddy, and Teddy lovevs that.
There is a little drama. Teddy jumps into a raging river to rescue a cat. Teddy and Cassius get caught in a land slide. And then there is the whole outing-on-social-meida thing.
It's full of love! From the One-Thirteen crew, from the neighbours, from Cassius's PA and from *most* of Teddy's family. I really didn't like what his brother was trying to do!
I can't fault it, I really can't and if I give myself free reign, I may be some time and rewrite the whole darn book in the review!
So, I'm leaving you with this:
READ THE DARN BOOK!

The pictures can tell the story and goes along with it. Your children learn along the way with it. It great for beginner readers. The pictures are quite nicely down and you can enjoy the pictures and so can young children.
The book does teach about the festival and teamwork and community. It is a sweet book and you do see Brother and Sister's little sister Honey.
