Audience Member True story set in Salt Lake City Utah. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review spencer p Detailed, meditative, and beautifully filmed, this uncommonly bleak film set in early Utah makes more artistic and character-based choices than most, proving that stories in places with a religious heritage don't always have to cram religion down your throat. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member At first, I was unsure that I wanted to watch a movie about a man who robs graves. However, I soon realized that the movie was far more than that. This is a beautifully crafted, carefully paced movie about a man who learns to heal his own pain and grief through service to someone who appears to be wholly undeserving of service. The casting for this film was perfect - every character is believable and real. Margot Kidder is a gem, so completely in character that I didn't realize it was her until the closing credits. I can genuinely say that I am glad I watched this film, and hope to see it again. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member 121130: Though it took over 24 hours for me to develop an opinion, I think I enjoyed this film. It's all about compassion and forgiveness. There's not a lot of action so don't be looking for that. The one gunfight which does occur, however, is a classic. It's a true portrayal of how I believe many cap and ball gunfights would've gone down in the 1800s. The community hired hitman, Tom Sutter, attempts to ambush Sheriff Heath. Sutter misses his first two shots and then takes cover at the same time as Heath. Heath returns fire shooting Sutter's hat off. Sutter yells "I say you missed" believing Heath's first shot was a fluke. Sutter puts his hat on the end of his revolver and pushes it out beyond cover. Heath shoots off the hat a second time. Sutter breaks cover, points his sidearm and receives a misfire. Heath's gun then also misfires. Frustrated Sutter charges Heath experiencing an accidental discharge. Heath gets a shot off which burns long and presumably misses. Not being able to obtain another shot, Sutter curses his gun calling it a "piece of garbage." Heath uses the opportunity to charge Sutter. Rather than attempting any more shots with his problematic sidearm, Sutter throws his gun at Heath and begins to run away. Heath manages to catch Sutter, pushing him down and ending the fight Wyatt Earp style. Now that's cap and ball pistols for you. Realism coupled with comedic relief. Until looking further into the actors on this film, I would have never recognized Margot Kidder portraying Marlys Baptiste. My old hometown girl, guess time is catching up to all of us. Great sound and good acting. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
