The over-long first act is forgivable thanks to the presence of Steve Buscemi and Chloë Sevigny, though it does make the road trip half of the film drag slightly. Still, this heartbreaking and true tale that elicited a tear at the end is worth watching for the beauty of the cinematography and the lead actor.

Well this was a surprise. Once in a while a film grabs you by the emotions and even if you think you're being drawn in to some sentimental tearjerker, you can't help but be transfixed by it and sucked into the whirlpool. This film got me right in the feels. It follows young Charley who's about to lose alot. There are very good turns from Charlie Plummer as the lead and Steve Buscemi as the grumpy horse trainer. The film doesn't wallow in it's own sentimentality but rather toughens you up for the final act. Which makes it more devastating. It's perfectly paced and at times looks and feels like a gritty modern western

I noticed that the tag line for this movie is "you can't get anywhere on your own" which is hilarious because this movie completely disproves notion completely. I didn't have a rough childhood by any stretch of the imagination but I understand what it is like to have.... disappointing.... parental role models and the final scene really resonated with me. The final ten minutes are extremely gratifying in that the director didn't ruin the spirit of the film (go back to the first line of this review). Charlie Plummer has a bright future ahead of him. [spoiler] It doesn't affect the film but did anyone get the sense that his Aunt was really his mother? Either way I am glad that they didn't have her come in and "save" him. [/spoiler]

A little slow at times but an emotional story and some great performances make this great.

"I just miss him a lot. I miss him so much."

I've heard little things about this hidden gem and the great praise it got at festivals, but nothing else after that. So upon seeing this on the list of movies on a plane journey home, I gave it a try, and was instinctively blown away
