Stunning film from Kelly Reichardt. Wendy and Lucy still remains my favourite of hers but this ran it extremely close. The way Reichardt shoots the Oregon landscape and the nature within it is absolutely beautiful.

At it's heart it's a tale of friendship among those that set off for America's West Coast to find their fortune. Not unlike something like There Will be Blood. But it's done with so much grace and compassion that the viewer is floored by the two main characters' affinity with each other.

There's a reveal in the very first segment of the film too, which just reinforces how good a filmmaker Reichardt is to pull this off. John Magaro's performance is also noteworthy. Great film.
