Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Mr. Gardner's screenplay, of course, is something quite special, full of the kind of dialogue that movies usually can't afford, that defines time, place, mood, and character while seemingly going nowhere.
Fresh: A terse, sharp, downbeat but compassionate look at the underside of smalltown American life in the west.
Fresh: The movie is crafty work and very much a show. In one way or another, right down to the percussively abrupt open ending, it's all about being hammered.
Fresh: The movie's edges are filled with small, perfect character performances.
