9/10
This movie deserves to be seen by more people
13 June 2021
More people need to see this movie, and see what great, simple, independent film making looks like.

I'll not give away any spoilers and the ending won't come as a surprise to anyone, but none of that matters. What does matter is the gentleness and simplicity with which this story is told, and without the mind-numbing schmaltz that comes with the typical Hallmark channel movie.

That characters are a bit complicated, the scenery is gorgeous (kudos to the creators for filming on location in a very small rural town), and the movie is true to the period it is set in, both in atmosphere and set design.

I lived in western South Dakota for a time, a long time ago (about as far west as you can get from the town this is set in), which has a wildly different feel, but I still felt strongly drawn to the characters, the town, and most importantly, the stunning scenery that is in this movie.

The characters are likeable, if a bit quirky, and well cast. Each actor fits their character well.

Take the time to watch this. You won't regret it.
