Wonderfully realistic characters, 10 November 2005
9/10
Author: wfieger from Austria

I liked this film VERY much for his music scores, his dramatic bull riding action shots and - most of all - for his real life characters and fine role play. This movie shows you a part of America and his people in a very special setting but with very common troubles. This kind of movie you can watch over and over again, it will ever be satisfying. The story is manifold, the moral of the tale is really something to think of (It took me several attempts to get it) The only issue that was not satisfying in my opinion was the outcome. Though I'm no friend of happy endings, this one was a bit too drastic in my sense. Nervertheless - great movie, great work!
