Ballad of Lefty Brown, The

“Can be enjoyed as both a straight-shooting homage to crotchety sidekicks and shoot-’em-up conventions, and a well-crafted movie about loyalty, betrayal, and redemption.”~Variety

Aroview: Bill Pullman is the cowboy Lefty Brown in this entertaining modern western, tracking outlaws across the Montana plains in attempt to avenge the gruesome death of his longtime partner. An obvious love letter to classic westerns, but with a twisty, satisfying plot that helps this non-revisionist genre exercise to avoid feeling hollow or derivative. Plus, it's shot on location in the stunning Montana wilderness.
