Real people playing versions of themselves in a real story is what makes this art film stand out. A young and gifted rodeo star suffers a concussion and must face the reality of the situation with his hard drinking father and mentally challenged sister (who also play themselves in the film).

As haunting as a lone cowboy's ghost on a long ride down a trail that leads nowhere.

The amateurish acting is distracting and endearing. The landscapes are mundane and immense. The emotions are personal and universal. I left the cinema steeped in memories of moments I'd never lived, like carrying a tattered postcard from another life in the back pocket of my oldest pair of jeans.
