8/10

I loved Redford on BRUBAKER like actor... I love how Redford directing this film using in a smart way an intense Thomas Newman's score and a great Robert Richardson's Cinematography,according me one of best cinematographer on Hollywood Industry with Elliot Davis;Dante Spinotti and Dean Cundey. That not mean only "Greetings from Montana",his lights and shots are melt and useful for catch and keep the strong emotions and feelings of this story...story about the destiny and the faith...story that seems lack in any parts but at the end this film worth be watch without using FastForward button...
