Reviews
Like High Plains Drifter as a Hallmark Hall of Fame presentation.
Methodical and lyrical in its well-paced movement. A durable and devoted drama that is so unassuming in its execution
Soul-satisfying movie about the spiritual process of turning pain into joy and bringing new life out of darkness.
